Emes

Seattle-based singer, songwriter, music producer Emes (pronounced- M.S) (aka. Emesthegenius) has his own way of crafting soulful real-life-based stories of relationships, being woven in with songs of introspection and reflection. Born Herman Schimmelfennig Jr, a proud mixed native Hawaiian birthed a love for music at a young age while growing up in Honolulu, HI. Coming from a musical family, he developed a love for R&B music as a teen and decided to pursue an education in Music and Video Business at The Art Institute of Seattle. It was in church where he developed the skill to sing and play the piano/organ working with Praise Teams and Choirs. Having been a songwriter with no music, this was the ultimate solution. While finishing his education with The Los Angeles Film School (Music Production), he decided to start releasing non-album-based singles in May 2020 starting with his soulful-island vibe “Smile”. Most recently in April 2021, he released his first EP entitled, “Just Because” produced by Wayfare, which is filled with a live arrangement 90’s R&B type vibe flowing with songs of love, break-up, and self-belief.
