Meet the Backstage: Emma Rosen
Some people walk into a studio like it’s a workplace.
Emma Rosen walks in like it’s a portal. She’s not just in the room, she’s reading the room, bending it, tuning it, shaping it until it sounds like the truth.

Born in Halifax and now orbiting the LA songwriting universe like a quiet supernova, Rosen has been stacking credits with the kind of subtle flex energy we love: MGK, Saweetie, GloRilla, Dean Lewis, Marshmello, and one of her biggest stamps: co-writing on Zoe Wees’ era, including the global hit “Control”, now past 700 million streams and counting.
But numbers aside, the real story lives backstage, the place where Emma is most herself.
Backstage with her feels less like a professional setup and more like sitting in your friend’s bedroom while she accidentally writes the best song you’ve heard all month.
Her creative process is a mix of chaotic genius and therapist energy.
She’ll catch a tiny melodic shift you didn’t even hear, call out a lyric that feels “too polished to be real,” and suggest a production tweak that suddenly makes the entire track go from cute to put this on repeat right now. Emma doesn’t write songs; she unlocks them.
And the artists trust her, not just because of her ear, but because of her vibe. She keeps the room light, funny, borderline unhinged when needed, and grounding when it matters. She’s the type to hype you up over a single good line and then calmly rewrite the entire verse in 10 minutes.
Her backstage world isn’t glamorous, it’s real, which makes it cooler. It’s iced coffee, dim lights, a laptop that’s definitely dying, and a melody she’s been humming since breakfast. It’s the version of the industry no one sees, but everyone wants to be part of. And when the track finally leaves the studio, it carries her whole fingerprint: soft, sharp, emotional, addictive
Emma Rosen is not just writing songs; she’s building worlds where artists feel safe enough to tell the truth, and then turning that truth into something the rest of us can’t stop replaying.
