Biography
Emma is a poet, musician, singer-songwriter and myth maker channeling the holy, the erotic, and the unspeakably real.
She is the founder of Renaissance Mystery School- a mythic, feral, and fiercely feminine ecosystem devoted to full expression, creative transmission and sacred revolt.
Raised in the crucible of a patriarchal household & religion in a small Kansas town, Emma didn’t heal politely. She rebelled through beauty. Her work dismantles the spiritual systems that shame the body, silence the feminine, and sell transcendence at the cost of truth. Through poetry, music, dance, and ritual theater, she births worlds where rage is sacred, eros is holy, and grief sings in the language of the gods.
Her music is raw gospel. Equal parts country, blues, folk, and thunder. Think Lucinda Williams wailing through the cracked altar of a desert church. Emma’s voice isn’t polished. It’s possessed with truth. Each song is a sermon and each lyric is a resurrection spell.
Her debut poetry collection set to release in Winter 2026 Everything is Beautiful and I Want to Die, is both requiem and revolt. A flesh soaked hymn to lust, loss, and the unbearable beauty of being a woman at the end of the world. Her performances fuse the sacred and profane, calling back the wild parts of us that were buried under obedience.
Rather than teach empowerment, Emma becomes it. Her work and presence is a permission slip, her art a portal.
At the heart of her offerings is Babalon The Mother of Abominations, and a devotion to liberating the full spectrum of feminine power - from the sacred whore to the grieving mother from the comedic destroyer to the ecstatic oracle.
Through Renaissance Mystery School, Emma leads women into myth and the full reclamation of their voice, art, eros, and holy mess.
Emma’s voice is trying to free you rather than please you.
She is currently leading a global underground renaissance through intimate rites of passage, poetic performances, monthly rituals, and a growing body of mythic feminist art that refuses to be tamed.
Emma currently lives in Austin, TX.
