About The Artist
Libby Ember is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter based in Montreal, currently pursuing her music studies at Concordia University. A self-described artist for the "yearners," her music blends the raw honesty of indie-folk with the textures of dream pop. Her songwriting explores themes of anxiety, longing, vulnerability, and the contradiction of private feelings colliding with public spaces.
Since the release of her debut EP, I Kill Spiders, Libby has had a defining 2025 that cemented her as a "rising voice in the indie-pop scene" (EARMILK), landed multiple Spotify Editorial playlists, and saw her winning the Overture With The Arts songwriting competition. With significant momentum from campus radio support and features in publications like Montreal Guardian, The Spill Magazine, and Music is to Blame, Libby is rapidly transitioning from a local secret to an internationally recognized voice.
Following acclaimed singles "Let Me Go" and "News at the Party" — both of which garnered Spotify Editorial support — her new single, "I'll Stand in the Doorway," is out now. Wrapped in dreamy, bedroom pop textures, the track explores longing, proximity, and the quiet tension of being emotionally outside looking in. Libby draws motivation from the storytelling prowess found in the work of artists she loves, such as Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers, Beabadoobee, and Leith Ross.
In addition to her solo work, Libby is also part of the duo
