bio
ÊMIA is the indie-pop artist project of Vietnamese-American singer, songwriter, producer, Anh Le. She began her musical career in classic underdog fashion: writing, self-producing and independently releasing her debut single, All I Do, out of necessity. As a result, her DIY approach to music marketing and fan-building is just as much part of her artistry as her music.
Internet-obsessed and resourceful, Le imbedded herself into various online communities such as the Asian Creative Network and Make Pop Music facebook groups to make fruitful professional connections. Through nothing more than an onslaught of emails and DM’s, Le’s “All I Do” landed on Starbucks’s official “Coffeehouse Pop” playlist. She also landed a debut performance of the song at an iHeartRadio Live Acoustic Session. The momentum grew and her debut EP, Little Secret, was placed on a multitude of editorial Spotify’s playlists such as Fresh Finds, Pop Right Now and Fresh Pop playlists. The EP has amassed millions of streams across streaming platforms and was critically acclaimed by various music media outlets such as CelebMix, A1234, and Thread.
From 2020 - 2021, Le pulled back on releases to focus more on role as a songwriter and producer for other artists. Her first co-writing and production cut was with pop singer/songstress and NBC American Song Contest contestant, Brooke Alexx. “I’m Sorry Tokyo” has amassed over 200K streams and was used in ASCAP’s AAPI Heritage Month campaign in May 2022. She also executively produced ellie d.s upcoming EP, “Let Me Be Fucking Sad” (set to release on July 2022).
ÊMIA continues to make huge strides in her artist career. In February 2022, she was featured performing her unreleased song, “Super Fun Party Girl” on Ronny Chieng’s Netflix Comedy Special, “Ronny Chieng Takes Chinatown.” She was also featured in a recent Logitech for Creators campaign and performed her self-written and self-produced song, “Bet You Left it Out” in collaboration with MEVO camera.
She is currently releasing new singles from her upcoming EP, VIDEO CALL:AM - a collaborative project with Paris-based producer, Charlie Kurata (fka DUUMU). Two singles from the project, ‘fake scenarios’ and ‘being single’ are out now.
