Empress Of (real name Lorely Rodriguez) creates introspective, self-empowering electro-pop centered around her impressive, acrobatic vocals. Basing herself in LA, Empress Of began experimenting with music software on her laptop, gaining attention by anonymously uploading a series of 15 minute-long experimental demos called colorminutes to YouTube in 2012.

The Honduran-American vocalist/songwriter went on to gain wide critical acclaim for her singles, 2014 EP Systems and 2015 debut album Me. The follow up, Us sees her shifting her focus outward and creating a community between herself and listeners, while also opening herself up to collaborations with Blood Orange's Dev Hynes and DJDS. Key moments from Us include ‘When I’m With Him’ and ‘I Don’t’ Even Smoke Weed’.
