Emily Daccarett Perspective on Clarity

Emily Daccarett is a singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist creating a cinematic world where music, film, and fashion intersect.Trained in couture at Instituto Marangoni and Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, and later at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, she brings a strong visual sensibility to her sound. At the core of her work is songwriting-crafting original music both for her own artist project and for the short films she produces, including theme and end-credit songs. Rooted in cinematic synth-pop, her music blends nostalgia with modern production, unfolding like intimate, atmospheric scenes that invite listeners into a deeply immersive and emotionally driven universe.

My earliest memory of listening to music is me as a baby sitting in my car seat and vibing to Fast Cars. Watching my parents from the back seat and kicking my feet to the music. 

I’ve always known I belonged somewhere in the arts—it was never just one thing. Growing up, I was constantly creating: dancing, singing, painting, illustrating, obsessing over fashion. My dream wasn’t singular—it was layered. I wanted to be a fashion designer and a singer and a dancer, all at once.

That passion took me to Paris, where I studied fashion design and immersed myself in a world that felt like a dream. But even then, I could feel it—this pull toward something bigger. Fashion was only one piece of the story I wanted to tell.

So I made the leap to Los Angeles to start my own brand. Not just for fashion, but for freedom. I didn’t want to be placed in a box or forced to choose one version of myself.

Los Angeles wasn’t just a move—it was a refusal. A refusal to shrink, to specialize, to be labeled and filed away. I didn’t come here just to build a brand. I came here to build a life where music, film, and fashion collide without asking for permission.

Because here’s the truth—LA is chaotic, relentless, a little unhinged… and that’s exactly why it works. This is a city where having three jobs isn’t a crisis, it’s an identity. Where reinvention isn’t risky, it’s expected.

And for me, that meant one thing: I don’t have to choose.

I never did.
