Biography

Sarnia, Ontario, Canada (1975 – present)

Emm Gryner (born June 8, 1975, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada) is a Filipino-Irish pop singer-songwriter based in Canada. She spent her childhood in Forest, Lambton County, Ontario. In 1995 she moved to Toronto, and the following year formed her own label, Dead Daisy Records, through which she released her first album, The Original Leap Year. In 1997 she was invited to play a set at Lilith Fair and subsequently was signed to Mercury Records in 1998, under whom she released her album Public.

After being dropped by the label in 1999, she released several more records under the Dead Daisy banner: Science Fair in 1999, Dead Relatives in 2000, Girl Versions in 2001, and asianblue in 2002. She toured extensively in David Bowie’s backup band during 2000 and 2001. She also toured with Swedish band The Cardigans in 2004 on the Chicks With Attitude tour.

Gryner has since released a DVD called Videochrome in 2003, featuring all four of her independent music videos and three previously unreleased songs. She released an album of Irish cover songs, Songs of Love and Death, featuring a guest contribution from Gryner’s neighbour Kate McGarrigle, in January 2005.

On September 27, 2005, she released a limited edition homemade album called The Great Lakes which she wrote, recorded, mixed, printed, hand-stamped, stapled, embossed, cut, burned, packaged, and signed specially for her fans.

Gryner married visual artist Sean Odell in 2004. The couple currently lives in rural Ontario.

    Just finished listening to Northern Gospel and as I suspected, it is Absolutely F*@#ing Incredible. North, Heartsleeves, Transatlantic, and the rerecording of A Little War (which has always been one of my fave songs by her, and one of my all time fave songs in highschool) are all unbelievably grogeous!!!!! Great job Emm, you've outdone yourself!

    Emm - you are amazing. Your music has had a profound effect on my life. Only seen you live once in London (England) but got you to sign my copy of Public which was fantastic. A true genius.

    I've only seen her live once, and once is definitely not enough! She was on tour with Jann Arden as a kind of side show when she should have stolen the show, IMHO. :P

    Wow I'm surprised Hello Aquarius is the 3rd most popular song. It's actually one of my all-time faves. I remember requesting it during a brief intermision for a performance at First Canadian Place in Toronto (this was about 10 years ago). She said "no" but she tricked me b/c she actually played it in her 2nd set. What a great gal... and a prankster.
