Em Beihold — Music Videos

A songwriter from Los Angeles

Em Beihold is an American singer, songwriter, and pianist from Los Angeles. Her work pairs direct accounts of anxiety, uncertainty, and emotional distance with clear pop melodies and a frequently playful surface. Before her major-label breakthrough she independently released music, including the EP Infrared, and used short online performances to share songs in progress. The contrast between complicated feelings and an immediately approachable musical setting became an important part of her identity.

Numb Little Bug and the EP

“Numb Little Bug” was released in January 2022 through Moon Projects and Republic Records. The song describes the difficulty of feeling disconnected while still outwardly functioning, without turning that experience into a simple resolution. It appears on the 2022 EP Egg in the Backseat alongside songs including “Goo,” “Too Precious,” and “12345.” Her later work continued to examine the difference between how a life appears from outside and how it feels to the person living it.

Piano, phrasing, and perspective

Beihold’s writing often uses nimble phrasing and specific everyday images to give difficult subjects a conversational quality. Piano remains part of her musical foundation, while the recordings broaden into full pop arrangements. The songs can feel light in rhythm and melody even when the narrator is struggling to find a dependable emotional footing.
