Emerson Day

For soulful singer-songwriter Emerson Day, storytelling came naturally from a young age. She was influenced by the sounds of a southern rock guitar and an old church piano. Growing up on her family's farm in Southern Maryland, she would sit outside playing guitar and singing for hours. God put a song in her heart long before she ever realized it.

Driven by career and athletic aspirations, Day graduated from university as a decorated Lacrosse player with her degree in Homeland Security. The same competitive nature which drew her to sports and a career in federal law enforcement, quickly engaged when she felt God calling her to pursue music. Thursday through Saturday she began playing shows in local bars and venues in her hometown. But it wasn't until she started leading worship at a small church in North Carolina that God showed her the path he truly had for her. The first time someone gave their life to Christ during worship solidified Day’s calling and passion for Christian music.

Emerson signed her first record deal in 2022 with Fair Trade Services. She’s been writing and recording music, showcasing her testimony through every strong, raspy note and powerful lyric. Her debut to Christian music is on Micah Tyler’s single “People Like Us (feat. Emerson Day)” in January 2024. This song beautifully tells the story of God’s love for an ordinary people; ‘people like you and people like me.’ It was a perfect fit for her mission of sharing the power of God’s redemption.
