Originally from a small town near Helsinki, Finland, self-taught singer-songwriter and independent artist Emmy June discovered her passion for songwriting while living in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2015, while working in a call center, she began teaching herself the craft from scratch. With a background in arts and textile design, she eventually moved back to Finland in 2017 and started performing at small clubs. As a self-taught artist, she has learned to turn her weaknesses into strengths, ultimately discovering her own unique voice.

​

In 2023, she released her debut album, The Spring, which was followed by a sold-out release show in Helsinki. Emmy June is known for her energetic, “New York-style” live performances with her band. Her music has been featured on various national radio stations in Finland, and she has performed at Radio Helsinki’s live series Radio Kylpy + Långvik.

​

In 2024, Emmy June experienced burnout, leading her to leave her day job and focus on music. She fell in love with the guitar and began writing her second studio album, set for release later this year. In the fall, she collaborated with the Finnish music store F-Musiikki and Ortega Guitars on a social media campaign called Kitarapäiväkirja (Guitar Journal), which led to her live guitar debut with her band at On The Rocks in central Helsinki on December 11, 2025.

​

While her earlier sound blended soulful pop and rock, her upcoming music embraces her love for ’60s and ’70s pop, Americana, and soulful country. Her first album captured the coming-of-age journey of a young woman, and her second album continues in that spirit, reflecting on her beloved time in Sweden, the search for her own kind of adulthood and friendships.

​

Emmy June’s first single from her second studio album is set to be released on Feb 21, 2025. "Old School" is an ode to long-lasting love, encouraging to focus on things that truly matter. The song, produced by Michael Bleu, is the first release Emmy June has written on guitar.
