Emma McCarthy

Emma McCarthy is an independent pop singer-songwriter whose music combines bright production, conversational writing and playful storytelling. Her single ‘Petty’ drew on small acts of one-upmanship and was shaped by glittery pop and cheeky lyrical ideas. During 2025, Emma supported Better Joy and Courtney Hadwin, played her first festival and independently organised a sold-out headline show. TuneFountain readers also recognised her work in the site’s end-of-year artist and singles voting.
