Finding Freedom in the Noise with Emily Gray

Originally from the south coast of the United Kingdom and now based in Spain, Emily Gray is an alt-folk and indie-rock singer-songwriter whose music blends emotional honesty with melodic strength. Rooted in her early emo and alternative influences, her debut album Kaleidoscope explores themes of anxiety, resilience, and self-discovery across ten tracks that balance intimate storytelling with cathartic energy. Emily’s expressive voice and confessional lyricism continue to connect with audiences who find comfort in her openness. For her, truth doesn’t come from silence — it’s found in the noise she’s learned to call home.

SNQLX: When you think about the person who wrote your earliest songs versus the person who wrote Kaleidoscope, what’s the biggest change you see in yourself

EMILY GRAY: Honestly I see myself as a completely different person- probably something to do with the fact that I was maybe 14 or 15 when I started writing. I think I’ve gone through at least two or three complete metamorphoses since then. I think I’m getting a lot closer to figuring out who I really am. I’m more content, and I recognise my emotional triggers a lot better. In terms of music, I have so much more experience now and I’ve met and worked with so many amazing artists that have really helped shape me musically.
