EMMI IIDA is a multidisciplinary artist working across music, visual art & spatial design — known for creating immersive worlds where sound, space and emotion converge.
Her work moves between ethereal alternative pop, abstract visual language and experiential concepts, forming a distinct artistic universe rooted in atmosphere, intuition and emotional depth.
As a recording artist, her debut album THE EYE, alongside singles including Trinity, Higher Self, and Blooming, has received international support across platforms such as BBC Radio 6 Music and MTV Finland, with editorial features in publications including CLASH Magazine, Earmilk, Notion, and Wonderland. In 2025, she released Tell Me (Tobias Bergson Remix) in collaboration with Tobias Bergson, blending her vocal world with melodic house — further expanding her international reach.
Alongside music, Emmi’s abstract artworks have been exhibited across Europe and the United States, with appearances in Barcelona, New York, Helsinki, and international art fairs in Paris and Innsbruck. Her work is available through her studio platform EFG Atelier and on 1stDibs.
Her practice extends into writing and conceptual work exploring creativity, environment, and perception. Her book EXPAND and the e-book THE EFG METHOD — Align Your Space, Expand Your Life reflect this broader framework — not as instruction, but as an extension of her artistic language.
In June 2025, she co-launched the GLOW ERA podcast with Eva Estlander, exploring creativity, identity, and modern spirituality through a contemporary Nordic lens. She also founded EFG CLUB — a private global community built around alignment, creativity and shared expansion.
Before her work as an artist, Emmi began her career in fashion, working internationally with agencies including Ford Models Chicago and Urban Model Management Milan, and appearing in campaigns for brands such as Finnair and Dermosil.
Born in Finland, Emmi spent over a decade living between the United States and Europe. She now lives and creates in Finland with her partner, designer and music producer David J. S. Holbrook, raising her two sons and their baby daughter.
Her work continues to evolve across disciplines — with upcoming music, exhibitions, and large-scale immersive concepts in development.
