all about Emma young…
…an actor, model, filmmaker, and trained musician with her roots in New England and her heart in New York.
Just closed as Maisie in the official off-broadway cast of Remembering Morgan at Playwright’s Horizons in the 2023 Downtown Urban Arts Festival. From acting in self-produced comedy skits as an outgoing kid at summer camp, Emma has since trained at Trinity Repertory Theatre Co., Stella Adler, The Barrow Group, MN Acting Studio, and Columbia College Chicago. Currently represented by WSM Talent Agency, she can be seen on national commercials for Sharpen/McGraw Hill, Wantable, Danbury Bank, and in print campaigns for many more.
Emma began playing piano at the age of six and went on to achieve a Bachelor of Music from Columbia College Chicago. She got additional training in music-production from PopAkademie in Germany, and came home to the states toting the Manifest Song Award and an internship with Mobile Mic Studios. She went on to release an EP, co-direct her music video, and continues to produce music for artists.
Her upcoming original short film “The Piece” entered post-production as of May 2023. Inspired by her journey from a pianist, to the multi-faceted artist she is now, this film takes an artistic point of view at her experience with imposter syndrome while rigorously studying music. She hopes the film’s dark theme will illuminate the overpowering anxiety some musicians struggle through in a highly competitive environment.
