Granddaughter of a trucker and a coal miner, Emily Zuzik hails from the Southwestern Pennsylvania town of Greensburg. She gave her first public performance singing Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" to her fifth grade religion class in Catholic school. By eighth grade, she was performing original work in front of her school. And the rest, as we say, is history...

Emily is a proud Epiphone Guitars endorsed artist and appeared in its internationally distributed 2005 calendar along with other great female artists Joan Osborne and Gretchen Wilson.

She released her debut solo album, The Way it's Got to Be, in February 2003, receiving praises from NYC's The Village Voice and Time Out, as well as Performing Songwriter Magazine's Top DIY Picks, November 2003. In addition, Emily was a finalist in the JANE Magazine Readers 2004 CD, and appears on the "Greatest Hits you’ve never Heard" UK compilation raising funds for breast cancer research.

Zuzik has been featured as an IGNforMen.com's Babe of the Day and played both the 2003 Women in Rock showcase at SXSW and as well as its documentary produced by Austin Music Network. She has shared shows with such performers as Norah Jones, Jon Dee Graham, Jolie Holland, and Tracy Bonham.

In addition to the above solo projects, the music video for Emily’s "Try a New Line on Me" (from her band, Sexfresh’s "The Fainting Room") spun nationally in high rotation in past years.

Currently, Emily is recording her second album with producer Joshua Kessler at Bushwick Studio and planning a tour for the UK in fall 2006.

You can also see Emily, nationally, as the Bond girl on the cover of the Penguin Paperback Reissue of James Bond’s Thunderball.
