STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Thanks out to Earmilk contributing writer René Cobar for including Chance Emerson’s The Raspberry Men on their Best of 2020 list!
"From the energetic acoustic guitar strums that open 'How Can I' to the rich floating harmonies in 'Incredible,’” Cobar writes, “Chance Emerson tells a story about who he is and where he is headed."
FANATIC’s Josh Bloom says, “The first time I watched this short film by Vacationland Collective, based around Chance Emerson's song "Annabelle," I teared up. You will, too.”

Chance Emerson's debut album came out just as everything was closing down.

Today, Chance chats about this and more with Ditty TV from his home in Hong Kong. Click to read the interview and see the video for the "Annabelle" single which American Songwriter says shows “wisdom and assuredness that belie his age.”
Jonathan Frahm at For Folk's Sake premieres "A Different Dark," the new video by Chance Emerson, which "features a restless Emerson and company traversing urban and natural landscapes alike. It’s an adventurous cut that showcases a textured message of self-discovery." Chance's debut album The Raspberry Men is out now.
Chance Emerson is featured in the South China Morning Post today. Just 19-years-old, Emerson was born in Taiwan, spent part of his childhood living in Hong Kong, and now attends college in Providence, RI.

Chance Emerson chats with American Songwriter today, which says, "When Chance Emerson sings 'Everything will be alright in time' at the close of his new single, 'Annabelle,' it’s easy to believe him. The Providence, Rhode Island-based singer-songwriter delivers the line with wisdom and assuredness that belie his age."
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.
