EPISODE 14 - Emily The Funk (OG Rave Influencer/Burner)

Who are some of your biggest personal influences? What is it about them that draws you to them and how has your life changed because of them? On today’s show, I’m excited to introduce you to one of MY biggest influences and the person who inspired me to start on my journey to living MY truth in the music scene, Emily The Funk.

Emily The Funk, one of the original “influencers” before the term even existed, and someone I’ve admired for YEARS. Emily started on instagram back in 2011 and quickly amassed a following for her stunning and eye-catching photos from concerts, raves, and music festivals, but the loyalty and love for Emily came from her vulnerability and sharing her highs and lows through life with her followers. 

Emily and I talk about her first rave at 15 that hooked her to the scene, her relationship to social media and what was REALLY going on in her life to cause to take a break back in April, her beloved dog, Frankie, that had cancer in which her followers came together to raise over $12,000 for his treatment, and last but not least, her love of Burning Man and what it means to her.
