About The Uncle
Em Kirby, AKA Uncle Emmington, is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Daphne, Alabama. A writer and poet from a young age, she studied piano and flute before finding her true loves: the guitar and ukulele. Em writes indie folk-pop ditties and memorable acoustic melodies based on her very personal -- yet highly relatable -- experience of the world. Her latest album, "Alphabet Soup," an eclectic mix of all-original songs, is available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms. It's received over 11,000 streams. Her first album, "Unoriginal," also available on all major streaming platforms, has received over 15,000 streams on Spotify.
