Emma Jean
Oakley

Richmond, VA // alt country // debut EP

Emma Jean Oakley grew up with music quietly sewn into her childhood, from country songs playing through the house to watching Shania Twain on TV as a kid. She wrote her first full song in sixth grade, and songwriting became the place where she processed heartbreak, longing, and the parts of herself she was still figuring out. Her sound pulls from 1990s country, rock, and pop punk, honest storytelling across genres. Now based in Richmond, she writes music with a clear emotional center that listeners connect to.

HannahLuv

New York City // queer indie folk

HannahLuv is a queer indie folk songwriter whose music feels like a late night confession, spoken softly but with complete honesty. She creates in quiet spaces because, in her own words, the solitude allows her to be more free in her creative process. Her songs lean into vulnerability, intention, and emotional clarity, the kind of performance no studio could manufacture.
