About The Artist
Libby Ember is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter based in Montreal, currently pursuing her music studies at Concordia University. A self-described artist for the "yearners," her music blends the raw honesty of indie-folk with the textures of dream pop. Her songwriting explores themes of anxiety, longing, vulnerability, and the contradiction of private feelings colliding with public spaces.
Following the release of her debut EP, I Kill Spiders, a defining 2025 cemented Libby as a "rising voice in the indie-pop scene" (EARMILK), earned her multiple Spotify Editorial placements, and brought victory in the Overture With The Arts songwriting competition. With significant momentum from campus and satellite radio support, continued editorial recognition, and features in publications like Montreal Guardian, The Spill Magazine, and Music is to Blame, Libby is rapidly transitioning from a local secret to an internationally recognized voice.
Following acclaimed singles "Let Me Go," "News at the Party," "I'll Stand in the Doorway," "Gravity," and "Pool Life," Libby released "Shoes" on September 25, a vulnerable and melancholic indie-folk single about unequal effort in relationships. Stripped of drums to place her lyricism firmly at the centre, the track captures the exhaustion of being ready to move forward while someone else remains standing still. Libby draws motivation from the storytelling prowess found in the work of artists she loves, such as Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers, Beabadoobee, and Leith Ross.
In addition to her solo work, Libby is also part of the duo
