Биография

Internationally recognized as a world-class violinist, singer, composer, author, actor, and artist, Emilie Autumn grew up by the sea in California where she mastered the classical violin before going on to travel the world as a highly theatrical singer. Known for her genre-bending albums Opheliac and Fight Like A Girl, Emilie has also starred in Darren Lynn Bousman’s musical fantasy films The Devil’s Carnival and Alleluia! The Devil’s Carnival (alongside Adam Pascal of Broadway’s RENT fame, and Ted Neeley of the classic film Jesus Christ Superstar). Her debut best-selling novel, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, is cited in text-books used as part of the psychology curriculum at Oxford University in London, amongst other publications. Emilie's poetry, written in her teens, has been used as the basis for original works created and publicly performed by New York's Rochester Ballet Company, using her spoken-word and classical violin work as the score. Upon the release of her 2007 Shakespearean-themed concept album, Opheliac, Emilie found herself an overnight star in Germany's industrial rock scene, and began touring extensively. With her flaming red hair, fetish for tightly-laced corsets, and signature heart painted on her cheek (a unifying symbol devotedly replicated by her global audience known as "Plague Rats"), Emilie fast became a sensation throughout Europe and the United Kingdom before touring frequently through America, South America, Canada, and Russia.
