Emily Reed

Emily Reed is just 17 years of age. Three years ago she moved from Mildura, Victoria to a little town in South Australia called Port Pirie. Emily began singing at the age of 13. She was classically trained for a short period of time and then decided it wasn't for her. Soon after changing direction, heading towards Country, Emily was trained by local Mildura woman Corinna Cordwell for eighteen months. This is where Emily found her passion for music.

During this time Emily started entering Talent Quests in Victoria and South Australia, and strumming a few tunes on her guitar.
