EMILY SCHULTZ

Emily Schultz is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and magnetic live performer whose artistry is rooted in connection. With a voice that moves effortlessly between intimacy and power, Emily brings an uncommon combination of musicality, emotional honesty, and instinctive stage presence to everything she does.

​

Raised in the thriving folk community of Edmonton, AB, Emily has built a dynamic career spanning international touring (Australia, Ireland, USA+), celebrated festivals (Edmonton Folk Festival, Toronto Folk Festival, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival+), theatre (Mirvish, Soulpepper, Crowes+), and major venues and Canadian music events (JUNOs, Folk Music Canada+) over the last two decades in the industry. A FACTOR-supported artist with award recognition (Ontario Folk Music Awards) and millions of streams across her songwriting and collaborations, Schultz has become a distinctive voice in Canada’s independent music scene—equally at home leading a stage, collaborating alongside other artists, or creating opportunities for the creative community around her.

​

Emily’s primary collaboration is with Gold-certified, award-winning, contemporary folk artist, Jordan Hart. Together as husband and wife, Hart and Schultz deliver a captivating musical partnership grounded in authenticity, chemistry, and craftsmanship. Whether performing in concert halls, boutique venues or festivals, the duo creates resonant performances that leave a lasting impression. Their long-awaited, first original duet ‘Keep Her Warm’ debuted this spring and is on a blazing trajectory with hundreds of thousands of streams across DSPs, prompting their 2026 winter tour, The Long Time Coming Tour.

​

Beyond her own artistry, Emily is deeply committed to building community through music. She is co-founder of Giving Tree Arts Collective, which creates music programming and performance opportunities in partnership with organizations including the Park Hyatt, 1 Hotel and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada with emphasis on community and philanthropy. She also works with Honey Jam as a musical director, performer, and ambassador, supporting opportunities for young women in music and the arts.

Using all of her skills towards connection, art and community, Emily Schultz has cemented herself as a huge up-and-coming talent in the global music scene.
