Empara Mi: The Avant-Garde Voice Redefining Pop
Captivating, enigmatic, and boldly unconventional, Empara Mi is carving her own lane in music. Her debut album, Suitcase Full of Sins, became an underground sensation during quarantine, racking up over 40 million streams and landing tracks like “Blood in the Water” and “Ditch” in global Netflix hits such as Ginny & Georgia and Behind Her Eyes.
Her genre-blurring sound has featured in major projects like Transformers, Fortnite, Riviera, and Dynasty, as well as global campaigns for Apple and Pretty Little Thing. In 2024 Empara expanded her creative reach, lending her voice to two landmark nature documentaries: Our Planet II and Mammals: Life on Planet Earth with her ethereal vocals gracing the score & trailer for Mammals. Most recently, her haunting rendition of God’s Gonna Cut You Down for the Golden Globe-nominated Day of the Jackal sparked widespread acclaim.
Drawing inspiration from cinematic scores, operatic grandeur, and the grit of hip-hop, Empara Mi has cultivated a sound entirely her own. Critics have praised her work as “the soundtrack to the best film never made” (The Fader) and a “searing blend of pop, R&B, and hip-hop that feels ghostly yet powerful” (Wonderland Magazine).
Her voice, described by Clash Magazine as carrying a “devastating sense of soul,” has made her a sought-after collaborator, including the featured single “Freedom” with Wilkinson and Sub Focus on their No. 1 album Portals.
As she prepares to release her highly anticipated second album Monsters & Masochists, Empara Mi is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music world where raw vulnerability meets grand-scale production, featuring orchestral arrangements recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and a bold fusion of nostalgic rock and electronic production, the album dives into extremes of emotion, “It’s about confronting your demons and embracing the chaos within” she says. With her distinctive voice that commands attention and fearless artistry that challenges convention, Empara continues to prove that she is a force of nature, creating music that resonates long after the final note.
