My name is Emylee Mae Marina Ephraums.
I am a 15 year old girl who loves music and singing with all her heart. I also love playing piano, which I have been playing for about 10 years, and am currently learning to play guitar. I also write songs, based on my experiences and thoughts. In short, I love all aspects of performing.
I love different genres of music, such as pop, soul, r'n'b, gospel and so many more.
My dream is to inspire and uplift people with my talent and passion for music, and to ultimately share my gift with people and encourage them to keep reaching for their own dreams.
