Indigo: Bridging Nature, Emotion, and Music
Emerging from the serene landscapes of Florence and finding creative rebirth in the vibrant energy of London, Indigo is a music artist carving a niche with their eclectic sound.
Emerging onto the music scene with a voice as vibrant as her ambition, Emily Nawrocki is ready to share her journey of self-discovery and artistry through her upcoming debut album, Evolving. With a background steeped in musical theater and a natural talent for storytelling, Emily has shaped her sound into a dynamic fusion of pop, soul, and hints of Motown. As she steps into the spotlight, Emily brings listeners along a journey of personal growth, vulnerability, and resilience—all woven through powerful rhythms and honest lyrics.
Finding Her Sound: From Musical Theater to Pop-Soul Fusion
Emily’s connection to music began early in life through musical theater, where she thrived in connecting with audiences and conveying stories. However, it wasn’t until she turned to songwriting that she found her true artistic direction. “Once I realized I could tell my own story, I knew there was no other option for me,” she shares. Now, with a master’s in songwriting from Berklee College of Music, Emily has developed a style that merges pop's catchy accessibility with the depth and rhythm of soul. Her music invites listeners to explore themes of self-growth, the complexities of relationships, and the triumphs of resilience.
A Debut Built on Collaboration and Intentional Storytelling
In her debut album Evolving, Emily partnered with Grammy-nominated producer John Mailoux to bring a polished yet authentic touch to her music. Together, they crafted a collection of songs that balance rhythmic energy with lyrical introspection. “Working with John was pivotal in translating my vision into something cohesive,” Emily recalls. The result is a record that’s as much about sound as it is about experience. Her band— comprising Grammy-level musicians who’ve worked with icons like Michael Bublé and Jackson Browne—has become the heartbeat of her music, adding depth and vibrancy to every track.
Inspiration and Vision: Honoring Legends, Embracing Individuality
Emily’s music is influenced by legendary artists like Amy Winehouse and Carole King, whose vulnerability and storytelling prowess echo through her own songs. She also draws inspiration from the high-energy, rhythm-driven style of James Brown. Beyond musical influences, she’s captivated by modern artists like Sammy Rae & the Friends, admiring their communal spirit and authenticity. With a clear artistic direction, Emily channels these influences into her unique blend of pop and soul, aiming to create music that resonates with listeners on a deep, human level.
Looking Forward: Sharing Evolving Live and Staying True to Her Voice
Live performances are where Emily’s passion shines brightest. She finds joy in the immediate connection and energy shared with an audience, a magic she’s eager to capture at her upcoming headlining show at The Narrows Center for the Arts on November 9th. This release show is set to be a milestone in her career, featuring a full band and bringing Evolving to life with the intensity and spontaneity she loves. To aspiring musicians, she offers words of encouragement: “Stay true to who you are. Music is about being genuine and trusting your own voice.”
Conclusion
As Emily Nawrocki steps into the music industry, her debut album promises to be an inspiring exploration of emotion and connection. With a commitment to authenticity and a passion for creating genuine musical experiences, Emily’s journey has only just begun, but it’s clear that she’s poised to make a lasting impact on the pop-soul landscape.
