At just four years old, EMPRESS’s life was changed when her hands touched the black and white keys on a keyboard for the first time. Her love for music evolved into a career as a professional dancer, and she became one of the youngest members of the San Francisco Ballet. Later, EMPRESS moved to New York City to perform on Broadway as the lead in the Tony Award-winning An American in Paris. Today, her career comes full-circle, as she prepares to release her debut EP, We Own This Crown, in spring 2021.
