Available to hire
Hi, I’m Emmett Giffin. I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Malibu with a background in sociology and music technology. I’m passionate about writing, recording, and producing music across genres, and I love turning ideas into polished tracks.
Beyond the studio, I bring a customer-focused mindset from luxury retail, where I served as the sole keyholder at a high-end Malibu boutique, delivering discreet, professional service to high-profile clients. I’ve had music featured in a Lifetime Original Movie and collaborated with Emmy-nominated composers, and I’m excited to contribute my creativity and work ethic to a collaborative team.
