notes
Known for her live shows and incredible stage presence, Emmy Cerra is taking the acoustic-rock scene by storm. Since the release of her debut album, Metamorphic, she has been invited to perform at shows to entertain thousands. If you like pre-pubescent chicks that lip-sync and rely on sixty-year-old men to write their music...keep looking.
The Massachusetts native never took part in any formal music training, opting to take her own approach instead. She spent her early years bouncing around from home to home and town to town, eventually setting out on her own at the age of fourteen. She saved up her money, bought a guitar and spent her high school years studying, working full-time, and playing music every chance she had. When she was nineteen, Emmy started performing live doing cover songs at dive bars in Lowell, MA. She quickly began throwing her original material into the mix. Soon people were singing along to Emmy's songs and cover songs were being played less and less.
Emmy then decided to study a bit of music engineering at a local studio and recorded her first album called Metamorphic. Half of this album was recorded in her bedroom and the other half at the studio where she was studying. When you hear the album, you not only hear the music; you hear her fingers and her lips, you hear her honesty and emotion.
Emmy's not one to search for people to get her music heard, she started embarking on that as well. Doing as many shows as she could and starting her own label so she could get her CD in local stores and record shops. "I figured with my own record company I could release the kind of music I wanted my name on," says Emmy. "I can be true to myself and the music I love. I'm also 100% responsible for the way it sounds. I understand that doing it myself means that there will never be a time when I can rest, and I'm prepared for that."
Emmy has lent her talents to organizations such as the September Concerts in New York City, the Fem-Soul Folk Festival and the Go-Girls Music Festival which supports the Rock and Roll Camp for Girls in Portland, Oregon. Along the way, she has played alongside such artist as Beth Hart, Gilli Moon, Jess Klein and Antje Duvekot. For someone so young, she has already accomplished a great deal and it doesn't look like she will be stopping anytime soon. "My priority is connecting with people through the music I write and perform," says Emmy. "As long as I've touched one person, that's success to me."

AMAZING
author: JacquiEmmy Cerra sounds amazing. I am not even into her kind of music and yet I find myself lost in it when I hear it. Her voice is beautiful. I feel priveleged to have such a talented cousin.
An artist with potential !
author: Laura T Lynch of Kweevak.comEmmy Cerra's music is raw-acoustic with few effects. Emmy sings from shear emotion as she tackles the serious topics of independence, lost love and starting over. Cerra pens poetic, potent lyrics that she belts out with feeling. 'Nicotine Princess' is a witty, well-written song featuring smoky vocals and chunky chords. 'Have A Good Life' is filled with cutting remarks, angry outbursts and vocals echoing over an edgy, acoustic rhythm. Metamorphic is an earthy record that is real and riveting. Emmy Cerra is a persuasive vocalist, playing vigorous guitars with lyrics that are penetrating, proving that she is artist with potential!
Great Album!
author: JylWow, I can't take it out of my cd player. I love this CD and I would highly recommend it. I love listening to indie artists, great find!
cool
author: AaronEmmy Cerra Kicks A@@@@@!!!!!!! Of course she is my cousin, so I have to say that. But no seriously, she is amazing, all she needs now is my killer lead streams layered onto her songs to make them scream like metallica. Emmy is great, and I'm proud to call her my cousin.!!
Feel again, for the first time.
author: LeannePoignant lyrics and a voice that delivers. Emmy reaches deep inside your own heart and speaks the words you can not find on your own.
Emotional
author: Campus Report - MeganA raw, unfiltered sound that makes the listener feel as though they are hearing a live show, leaving out that sterile mainstream sound and allowing for true emotion to shine through. It's enough to make any pop-tart run for the hills.
EMMY CERRA IS A POWERHOUSE
author: Nomasonha Magazine - Dan MoranEMMY CERRA IS A POWERHOUSE. While the 24-year-old Malden, MA singer songwriter has built up a reputation as a dynamic live performer, Cerra's debut CD Metamorphic shows off her powerful voice, vigorous guitar playing and insightful songwriting. Her songs show she's packed a lot of living into her young life. Cerra's performance on Metamorphic is the antithesis of the preprocessed girl pop that we've seen so much of lately.
Very refreshing
author: GinnyI picked up this album at the show in Lowell, MA and I loved it. I'd recommend it to anyone who digs singer/songwriters...it's a must have.
This album is soulful, penetrating and filled with heart and soul
author: Rachel MaloneyFrom just listnening only once, Emmy Cerra has such powerful emotion. This CD is passionate for her love of life. She seems like a very beautiful person inside and out.

author: alexThis new CD has everything from cry your eyes out to pull thier eyes out. The lyrics are imaginative and Emmy Cerra's voice pulls emotion right out of you. If this is the first CD, i can't wait to see what she does next.
