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 stepfatherโs songwriting techniques on tracks like โDisco Infernoโ by The Trammps.
Over the past decade, heโs joined forces with some of the most talented and respected artists andย songwriters of this generation. Heโs 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, Eman8โs new album ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ฏ ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฅ๐บ ๐๐ข๐บ is a tribute to the influences of his youth and a deep, open-hearted reflection on the experiences of his adulthood.
โThis is the most honest thing Iโve put out. I just hope people come to it as a blank canvas. As a songwriter, my job is to process what Iโm feeling and leave space for listeners to fill in the gaps for themselves. This music is a dialogue, not a monologue. At least, thatโs what Iโm hoping for. Because thatโs music at its best.โ – Eman8
