About Us:
Singer. Songwriter. Musician. Vocal
experimentalist. Collaborator.
Independent artist.
Emily Spiller is the next Adele, the
new Duffy. A mix of Zap Mama & Feist
meets Amy Winehouse. A mash up of
blues, jazz, and soul infused vocals
that simultaneously ache and soothe.
The room falls silent when Emily
sings. She finishes her set and leaves
you wanting more.
After a whirlwind 2010, Emily Spiller
is building momentum at home and
overseas. A third independent release
on her own label, Beacon Hill Records.
Three months in Australia promoting
her second album "The Get Go", whose
title track was featured in two
independent Canadian films "Zombie
Punch" and "A Lucky Man". Not to
mention 5 songs licensed to an ipad
app!
Returning to Australia in February,
2011 Emily performed at the Australian
Blues Music Festival in NSW, and
Nannup Music Festival in WA. From
there, she flew to Toronto for a
showcase at Canadian Music Fest in
March. She does this on her own. Armed
with an RC50 loop machine, two
microphones, & her laptop, she whisks
herself around the globe as an
independent artist on a mission.
Emily's fourth album is an evolution
in her music & voice. A collaboration
with film composer David Parfit will
incorporate an electro-dub feel with
the power of her soul-drenched voice.
Their co-written track for US
Documentary, "From Place 2 Place" will
be released this year.
Since 2003, Emily has toured in
Canada, China, Australia, & New
Zealand. In 2007, she released her
first EP "LIVE At The Apartment",
quickly finding airplay in Canada and
New Zealand. She was awarded a FACTOR
grant for her latest EP "The Wonderbro
Remixes" (2010), her 3rd release on
Beacon Hill Records. Emily Spiller has
been nominated for five Vancouver
Island Music Awards, and will perform
at the ceremony in June 2011. She will
showcase at the Vancouver Island Music
Business Conference, also in June.

Hey Everyone! How's your summer going? It's been
really busy here on the island playing shows and
booking festivals into 2011. My EP "The Wonderbro
Remixes" is doing really well and thanks to all of
you for providing feedback! I'm winding down my
hectic schedule a little, and gearing up for some
great shows in Vancouver and across the island
into the Fall. I've gone solo, and am having a
blast learning new instruments and experimenting
with my sound. I've also been accepted into the
2011 Nannup Music Festival in Western Australia
next spring! That's all for now,

BC Tour July 2010
Hello friends!
I'm gearing up for a busy summer in Canada. The
gypsy caravan is quickly taking shape and coming
to a town near you!
After a quick trip to Barcelona, Spain and the
Vancouver Island Music Business Conference in
June, I'll be on the bus touring British Columbia
in July. If you're in the area, stop by the merch
table and say hello! I'd love to meet you;)
Thanks for your support!

Pipin Hot Photo!
Hello IM Radio listeners,
What do you think of the new photo?
We had a blast last week shooting new promo photos
for Summer 2010.
I'm now at #13 in the Lilith Fair Talent Search
(Vancouver Region)! Now I've got to make it into
the top 10...
Thanks for all your votes!
Find Pipin Hot Photo on Facebook! They're the
best.
Off to Spain in a few days...I hope I can find a
great subject for my next article in Pipin Hot
Magazine!
See you at the HBI June 11th,
Em
Rain's gonna come...
Good early afternoon!
It's the last day of August and gray out there
already. A few more shows to play and then I'm
hiding away to write and make some videos. I'm
actually looking forward to being inside, watching
the wind wrap around the trees, and getting back
to my studio desk. Imogen Heap is really inspiring
me right now. As is my hankering for the cajon
drum...I think I might add one to my live show.
Off to get a tune up on the sax & pick up my
djembe...
I've been seeing more RC50's out there
lately...Anyone know how to remedy the feedback
issue our poor sound techs are having with it?
Also, it seems that the loops I'm recording are
loud enough when going in, but sound much quieter
during playback. Where's my manual...
Adios,
xo Em
Hi Sakis,
