Emma Blackery
Emma Louise Blackery (born 11 November 1991) is an English singer-songwriter, YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and author. Active since 2012, Blackery has garnered over a million subscribers on her YouTube channel and released two studio albums and six EPs. She has toured with Busted, and headlined tours for her debut studio album Villains, released on her RWG Records label in 2018.
In 2025, Blackery's main YouTube channel had 1.22 million subscribers. She performed and was a panelist at YouTube events (including Summer in the City and VidCon), and has contributed twice to the YouTube Rewind video series. Blackery's book, Feel Good 101: The Outsiders' Guide to a Happier Life, is based on her 2013 Feel Good 101 video series.
As of 2025, amid a change of interest, and fears YouTube had become saturated, she focusses her efforts on her music and growing her Twitch channel, where twice weekly she streams 'Just Chatting', music, and gaming streams.
Blackery grew up in Basildon, Essex, finishing sixth form at Bromfords School in Wickford. She was a waitress before beginning her career as a musician and YouTuber.
Blackery released her debut demo-EP, Human Behaviour, in early 2012 exclusively on Bandcamp. The title track was later re-recorded for her 2017 EP Magnetised along with other demos released by Blackery at that time. Her first official EP, Distance came out in July 2013 and spawned the music video for the lead track, "Go the Distance", produced by Arthur Walwin. Her second EP, Perfect, was released on 11 November 2014. Its title track topped the UK Independent Singles Breakers Chart for one week, and entered the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart at number eight. In 2015, Elle included Blackery on its "30 Women Under 30 Who Are Changing the World" list.
Jason Perry produced Blackery's fourth EP, Sucks to Be You, which was released in 2016. Its title track peaked at number 85 on the Scottish Singles Chart. On 4 April 2016, Blackery announced that she would join pop punk band Busted on their Pigs Can Fly tour. "Sucks to Be You" was the runner-up for the first Summer in the City Song of the Year award. After touring with Busted, Blackery toured on her own and performed her music at other YouTube events.
She released her fifth EP, Magnetised, on 26 May 2017. It spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 63, and peaked at number five on the UK Independent Albums Chart and number two on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart. On 6 August, Blackery received a Summer in the City Song of the Year award for "Nothing Without You". The cover art for Magnetised was featured at the Apple Keynote event for the iPhone X in September 2017.
Blackery founded her independent record label, RWG Records, in 2018 and began work on her debut studio album Villains. She has explained that releasing on her own label gives her "control over a lot more aspects of [her] music career." On 16 March 2018, she released the lead single "Dirt", produced by Toby Scott. The song, on Spotify's New Music Friday UK playlist, was described by Record of the Day as a "slick combination of Scandi-pop" and "sassy American pop"; Blackery described "Dirt" as "best served cold". On 3 May 2018 she released her second single "Agenda" along with a lyric video. On 22 May 2018 she released the music video for "Agenda" followed by a lyric video for "Icarus" and a music video for "Take Me Out" in June and August respectively.
