BackgroundBorn in Martinez, California, Ainjel Emme (pronounced "angel em") spent her early childhood in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, and Venice, California before settling in Austin, Texas in 1991. She currently lives in Los Angeles. Known primarily as a solo performer and recording artist, Emme is also an accomplished songwriter, session vocalist, musician, and producer. Professional careerHeartache Is Boring (Album)Emme's independent debut, Heartache Is Boring, was recorded at Willie Nelson's studio in Pedernales, TX and released in October 2003. The tracks were developed around self-produced demos recorded on Emme's Fostex R8 reel-to-reel machine. Some elements of those recordings made it to the album's final mix. Co-produced by Mat Mitchell (Puscifer, Nine Inch Nails) and Kyle Ellison (Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers), the record received critical acclaim ["Shimmers with art and soul" – BUST Magazine (Spring 2004), "Hits the mark right out of the chute" – The Austin Chronicle, (October 2003)]. Heartache received regular airplay on local radio in Austin and made Top 10 CDs of the Year at KUT 90.5 FM. Only 1000 physical copies of the album were ever manufactured. The CD went out of print in 2006, but it is still available digitally through iTunes and other online retailers. In late 2004, Emme moved to Los Angeles. She worked as a waitress, music teacher, and session musician while developing material for her second album. Interning at various entertainment companies and studios around the LA area, she focused on furthering her education in artist development, audio engineering, and music production. She also sharpened her chops as a musician, working for hire both on stage and in the studio. In 2006, she traveled to Lollapalooza and Coachella with art-rock outfit MASS Ensemble, and toured part-time with all-girl AC/DC tribute Whole Lotta Rosies on rhythm guitar. In 2015-2016, she was the touring bassist for Train co-founder Rob Hotchkiss, and has backed numerous other singer-songwriters live over the years. PusciferOn the recommendation of co-producer and engineer Mat Mitchell, Ainjel was invited to contribute vocals and guitar to the debut album for Maynard James Keenan's ongoing collaboration-based side project, Puscifer (Momma Sed and The Undertaker). The album, "V" Is for Vagina, debuted at #1 on the Billboard independent charts. Her performances are also featured on the remix album, "V" Is For Viagra. Everyone Is Beautiful (Album)Everyone Is Beautiful, Emme's sophomore record, was recorded over a year-long stretch of Fridays in Gardena, CA with friend and co-worker Robert Black. Black and Emme worked together at a café in Venice; she in the front as a waitress, he in the kitchen as a cook. Post-production took place at Threshold Sound + Vision in Santa Monica, CA with engineer Todd Bergman handling the final mixes and Capsule Labs' Gil Tamazyan mastering. One of the studio owners at Threshold took an interest in Emme's work and licensed Everyone Is Beautiful to be released through Spin Move Records on January 11, 2011. The Down Song is featured in the opening montage of action indie film Dead Drop. Straight To Hell and The Priest have been featured on MTV's Teen Mom (Episodes 302 and 407). ProductionAfter over a decade spent studying the craft behind the scenes, Emme stepped out as a music producer and recording engineer by co-founding multimedia production house, Block of Joy, in 2015 with future husband Anthony Paul Lopez and his brother, filmmaker Charles D. Lopez. Under the Block of Joy umbrella, Emme has produced recordings for international recording artists, commercial houses, documentary films, and podcast series. She has also contributed to the making of multiple music videos, including "So On It" by Japanese artist Miyavi and "Aquarius" by Jessica Gerhardt. DiscographyAlbums
