Droga
- Indie Folk
Emil Droga is an Australian born singer-songwriter. He has been producing and performing music from an early age. His first EP, Take a Breath, was released in 2019, aged 15. The title song for the album was performed as a duo with the American singer-songwriter, Jon McLaughlin. His most recent EP Just Talkin’ is due for release in 2021.
There is a mysterious quality to Emil and his music. He’s a storyteller with richly composed tales to tell. His original and highly lyrical musings reach deep into the soul, revealing a musical sensibility and maturity of thought and feeling which belies his age.
Emil’s debut song, Free, was composed for a school music challenge in 2012 when he was 9 years old. Selected as a standout, the song was orchestrated, recorded, and performed publicly by Emil. The experience changed his life, notably introducing Emil to his now long-time mentor and friend, Bobbie Lee Stamper.
