Emyrson Flora

**Emyrson Flora** is the super-talented singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene at just 16 as the youngest contestant on *American Idol* season 20, making it all the way to the Top 10 with her raw, powerful vocals—wowing judges with tracks like Brandi Carlile's "The Joke" and Miley Cyrus's "Angels Like You." Born August 7, 2005, in Hudson, New York, and raised in the Cleveland area (she went to Walsh Jesuit High School), this self-taught pianist and guitarist grew up belting out tunes in her bedroom for her parents, never performing live until the show changed everything.

Fast-forward to now at 19 (or 20 by her next birthday), Emyrson graduated high school, packed up for Nashville to dive into the industry, and dropped killer releases like her debut EP *every song is about you* (and its deluxe version), plus singles such as "Aren't You Curious?," "Rose Colored Eyes," "Cologne," "Handsome Assassin," and "Ever Again." She's all about those emotional, vocal-driven vibes—inspired by Adele—exploring heartbreak and growth, and she's already building a dedicated fanbase with her introspective songwriting and live energy.
