Today we’d like to introduce you to Emilie Rose.
Hi Emilie, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My story really started with a deep love for expression — whether that was through music, cosplay, performance, or art. I began creating at a time when I was very young, but the process of writing, performing, and experimenting with sound and visuals helped me find my voice. Over time, I started performing around Atlanta, from small open mics to showcases and mixers, and each experience shaped me into the artist I am now. I’ve learned to trust my instincts, embrace my individuality, and pour everything I’ve lived through into my work.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. Like most artists, I’ve had to overcome a lot of self-doubt, rejection, and moments where I questioned myself. There were times when resources were limited, support was inconsistent, and I had to learn how to believe in myself through the noise- and even still to this day. even when it felt like no one else did. But those moments built my resilience — they taught me discipline, patience, and the importance of trusting my vision no matter what.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m an alternative singer and actress based in Atlanta. I use my voice to alchemize pain into art. I started creating early; I was that kid posting videos on YouTube at 10 years old, editing amvs, experimenting with music, characters, and storytelling. I actually went viral a few times back then, but I was so nervous about the attention that I deleted the videos. Even then, I knew I had something special, I just didn’t know what to do with it yet.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Honestly, I’m still figuring it out myself. I don’t really have a mentor yet, but I’ve learned to be my own motivator. My advice to anyone trying to find their path is simple, be yourself and block out the noise. Don’t chase validation or try to fit into spaces that don’t value you. What’s meant for you will always align when you stay true to who you are.
For the younger ones, stay in school, stay focused, and don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. You create your own reality. Even when you feel lost or unsure of your purpose, remember that you’re here for a reason. That mindset has kept me grounded through everything.
