Emily Afton is a queer multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and performer with roots across California, in Oakland, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Her nostalgia-infused alt-pop has been described by NPR as “...wonderful, wonderful electro-pop that’s weary of life, but positive," and draws influence from a wide musical spectrum including the likes of Fiona Apple, Frank Ocean, and Robyn. In 2017, Afton was invited to perform her feminist protest song, ‘The Veil' at the San Francisco Women's March, garnering the admiration of many in the 40,000-person audience.

When the song was officially released on her 2020 EP, Consideration, the song and EP’s popularity landed Afton’s music on TV shows such as The CW’s Batwoman, and caught the attention of Third Eye Blind frontman, Stephan Jenkins who asked her to perform as direct support on their national tour. Emily Afton’s most widely recognized song, ‘Lost’ (from her debut album Archetype), was featured on the series Riverdale, which brought Afton’s music to the international stage for the first time.

Emily Afton is currently releasing a handful of new singles from her anticipated 2nd full-length album, slated for a Fall 2024 release. Following her first two singles, ('Make' and 'Free [feat. Tauwoo]), the third single, 'Running out of Time' comes alongside a jaw dropping music video collaboration with Southern California based women-led production company, NO STORAGE PRODUCTIONS. The new single and micro thriller -music video explore themes of heartbreak, self-preservation, and the end of toxic relationship patterns.
