About
Also known as: Emily Li
Emei broke through when "Late to the Party" blew up online in 2022, pulling in 5.5 million streams and 9.5 million views across TikTok and Instagram Reels. The LA based alternative pop artist, born Emily Li, took her stage name from a mix of her Chinese name, An Mei, and her English nickname, Emmy. Before the viral moment she had already placed third on Chinese Idol, which is a hell of a warm up act. From there she kept the EPs coming: End of an Era in 2022, Scatterbrain in 2023 and RABBITHOLE in 2024, the last one a record about spiralling into panic and anxiety and finding your way back out. She teamed up with production duo NOTD on "Hold On Me" and with Whethan on "SUNNYD", a partnership with the drink brand SunnyD. Her fifth EP followed in 2026, and the song "ginger tea" is a tribute to her late grandmother.
