"I'm a Jessica Rabbit/Tom Waits kinda-something. I love hearing beautiful melodies telling me horrible things. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Judy, Barbara, Patsy, Rufus Wainwright, Antony & the Johnson's. I love to interpret a song. I love to sing stories." In 2014, she made the decision to try out for "America's Got Talent". "I thought maybe if I audition in front of the world, I could save time and see where it takes me. " It was a wise decision. West excelled on the National stage and came in second in the renowned competition- a result she hopes will allow her to play to the breadth of audience she's always wanted, and to take them with her on this exciting journey. Emily's debut album will be released on August 14.
