Emily spent her childhood playing piano, and listening to musicians such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stevie Wonder, and James Taylor.〔()〕 As a teenager, inspired by Jimi Hendrix, she began playing guitar and singing.〔(Cincy Groove Magazine, Interview with Emily Elbert )〕 She attended the Berklee College of Music Five-Week Performance Program, which she paid for with local performances and sales of her first album, ''Bright Side''.〔(BERKLEE | Student Profile: Emily Elbert )〕 ''Proof'', Elbert's second studio album, was released in September 2010 and was co-produced by Elbert and Berklee professor Stephen Webber. Accompanying Elbert on the album is an international cast of musicians from India, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and the U.S., including Grammy-winning cellist Eugene Friesen, and Elbert's father Roland on piano.〔()〕 According to Elbert, "the concept of Proof is based on a song on the CD where the chorus is "proof that there's love/proof that there's peace/proof we can be redeemed". That's a theme woven throughout the record — finding love and peace in the natural world, in relationships, in the mind, and even in life's rough situations."〔()〕 In 2010, Glamour Magazine named Elbert one of their "Top 10 College Women" of the year. Elbert's third album, ''Alive, In Love'' was a live CD and DVD created in a two-day period in Massachusetts. The album was recorded, arranged, performed, produced, and filmed by local college students, and was funded entirely by fans on the crowd-sourcing platform Kickstarter. ''Alive, In Love'' was recorded in 2011 and released in the spring of 2012. In 2011, Elbert graduated with an Artists' Diploma from Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts on a full-tuition scholarship.〔(BERKLEE | Berklee News | Student Emily Elbert Among Glamour's Top 10 College Women )〕 ''Evolve'', Elbert's fourth independent release, was recorded in Brooklyn, New York, co-produced with Dan Knobler at Mason Jar Music and released in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emily Elbert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
