ORIGIN (LIVE AT THE TERAGRAM BALLROOM)

Emmalee Rainbow is a twenty-one-year-old songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, culinary artist, and actress based in Los Angeles.

Rainbow’s career began as a child actress, where she appeared in national commercials, films, and popular television series such as Modern Family and NCIS: Los Angeles. Recognized as a culinary prodigy, she gained international acclaim on Lifetime's cooking competition series Man Vs. Child: Chef Showdown (now streaming on Disney+), which ran for two seasons.

Emmalee’s musical career took flight at a young age. At twelve, she founded and fronted her first band, Sunset & Vine, setting the stage for her indie-rock solo endeavor that began in 2020 with the release of her self-produced single Love In May. Rainbow played all instrumentation (with the exception of drums and trumpet) on Origin, her ambitious, nuanced debut EP, released in 2022.

In 2021, Emmalee was the sole organizer and producer of the virtual benefit concert, Music Mends. The event raised funds for LGBTQ+ individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and featured renowned artists including Ezra Furman, Eliot Sumner, and Bleached.

In the post-COVID era, Emmalee Rainbow has continued to captivate audiences with energetic live performances. Leading her talented band members Drew Aron, Will Brunet, Vega Delanova, and Ryan Dwyer, she has graced esteemed venues in Los Angeles and New York City, including the Teragram Ballroom, Hotel Cafe, and the legendary Whisky A Go Go. In October 2023, Emmalee and her band released a live EP recorded at the Teragram Ballroom, along with three live videos.
