Emily Minor

Standing at a mere 4’ 11’ and weighing 105 lbs. soaking wet, Emily Minor is like a surprise at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. Dubbed “a modern day Brenda Lee,” she’s a “Little Miss Dynamite.”
Raised in a suburban area of Wilmington, NC, Emily Minor is an action-oriented, go-getter with intentional direction and absolutely no ceiling. She’s a “never-say-never,” no-quitter with the natural-born ability to shine in the limelight.

In 2007, Emily, who was studying education at East Carolina University, auditioned for the world’s largest talent contest— American Idol; she accelerated in the competition and became a Top 50 “Hollywood” contestant.

“I had always loved to sing, but really never seriously considered singing as a ‘career path.’ After seeing the responses of the judges and the audience, I began to think 'It’s possible.' I moved to Nashville just two weeks after I graduated from college!”

Since her decision to take residency in Music City as a contending major country-recording artist, Emily Minor has planted her roots as a sought-after entertainer. Her vocals have been likened to the award-winning talents of Miranda Lambert and Jennifer Nettles. With a knack to “hold a crowd” and use every second on stage as a captor, she played more than 40 dates in 2014 and has over 50 dates scheduled in 2015 including supporting spots for artists such as Lee Brice, Cole Swindell, Scotty McCreery, Dustin Lynch, Parmalee, and Maddie & Tae.

Recently, Emily recorded a four-track EP alongside Scott Trayer. The self-titled project is a lively collection of convincing stories, a wave of emotions and astounding vocals. Her fun-loving, spunky personality shines in the up-tempo summertime track, “Funky Feel Good” while “Something I Was Missing” offers listeners a glimpse of the young songwriter’s more vulnerable, serious side.

Emily Minor’s delivery is straight up and honest with no sugar coating added. The songstress is an energetic sunburst full of big surprises poised to make an everlasting impression. Her stay in the country music industry is a well-intended long-term plan.
