My Mandarin is pretty bad at this point,” says 19-year-old songwriter, Chance Emerson.

At 17-years-old, Emerson self-released his debut EP “The Indigo Tapes,” local radio got on board, the EP ascended the iTunes charts, and to date, songs from the “The Indigo Tapes” have racked up a million Spotify plays.

Currently attending college in Rhode Island, Emerson's rusty Mandarin is the result of being away from his homeland for nearly two thirds of his life now. Born in Taiwan to a Taiwanese mother and American father, Emerson moved to Hong Kong at seven-years-old.

“The concept of home has been very fluid for me,” he confesses. “Music has ended up being a huge part of how I ground myself in a place.”

The songs on Emerson’s upcoming debut album The Raspberry Men (March 6th) will ground you, too.
