Eman8 is the enlightened alter ego of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brandyn Burnette.
As Eman8 grew up moving from city to city he was surrounded by a musical family and community. He immersed himself in the 90s pop music his sister played at home and the old school hip hop his friends and neighbors played. From a young age he was writing original songs on the Casio keyboard his grandmother gave him, singing gospel in the choir and studying his stepfatherβs songwriting techniques on tracks like βDisco Infernoβ by The Trammps.
Over the past decade, heβs joined forces with some of the most talented and respected artists andΒ songwriters of this generation. Heβs toured with John Mayer and James Bay and penned hits for MKTO, Jake Miller, The Backstreet Boys, and Charlie Puth.
A mix of R&B, hip hop, gospel, 90s pop, and everything in between, Eman8βs new album ππ¦π’π·π¦π― ππ― π πππ°πΆπ₯πΊ ππ’πΊ is a tribute to the influences of his youth and a deep, open-hearted reflection on the experiences of his adulthood.
βThis is the most honest thing Iβve put out. I just hope people come to it as a blank canvas. As a songwriter, my job is to process what Iβm feeling and leave space for listeners to fill in the gaps for themselves. This music is a dialogue, not a monologue. At least, thatβs what Iβm hoping for. Because thatβs music at its best.β – Eman8
