Emily Afton is a California-based singer-songwriter, producer, and DJ who calls both San Diego and the Oakland (Bay Area) home. Her unmistakable voice bridges the worlds of alt-pop, folk, and electronica; a sound NPR once described as “Utterly charming electro-folk... [that’s] wary of life, but still positive.” Over the past decade, Afton has built a following through her dynamic live shows, DIY artistry, and emotionally candid songwriting.

Featured on shows like Riverdale, Batwoman, and The One That Got Away, her music has reached millions of listeners throughout the years. She has toured nationally as direct support for Third Eye Blind and performed her protest anthem “The Veil” for over 40,000 people at the 2017 San Francisco Women’s March.

Following her debut album Archetype, Afton has since released her sophomore album CIRCAA in 2024 which earned her features on KCRW and the album’s single / queer micro-thriller music video for “Running out of Time” was chosen as an official selection at the LA Shorts International Film Festival.

Now entering a new creative era, Emily Afton is preparing to release her alt-country EP, Space Is No More (slated for Winter 2027). The EP’s first single, “It’s You,” introduces a warm, analog indie aesthetic, recorded at the legendary 2200 Studios, where Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours was made.  The EP's second single “Tired & Sad" (coming Dec 3) pairs gritty electro-pop (a la St Vincent and Lola Young) with deeply personal lyrics exploring themes of mental health and the complexities of being an artist in today's world. Stay tuned for the third and final single, “Cactus,” alongside Space Is No More (EP) coming Winter 2027.
