About Me

Hi! My name is Emma Sameth. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. My love of all things music led me to a career as an artist/songwriter in the bustling LA music scene. I’m a creative collaborator at heart, and I’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of fellow artists both in the states and abroad. My singing is featured in the trailer for Paramount’s feature film Wonder Park, and you can find my music all over Spotify—just look for the food-themed album art. 🍦

I’ve been naturally immersed in the tech world simply because, as an independent artist, it seemed insane not to take advantage of the free promotional power right at my fingertips. Though I’m by no means a tech rejecter, and credit many of my creative opportunities to the digital universe, overuse gradually turned to compulsive dependence when it came to online feedback. This weakened my intrinsic love for the creative process, while simultaneously reinforcing the idea that vanity metrics and popularity contests were the ultimate objectives.

Tech Nutrition is my rebuttal to the incessant whisperings of big tech promising social salvation through statistics and follower counts. I’m determined to share my findings in the hope of helping others break free of their Instagram envy, and rediscover creativity and collaboration for personal fulfillment and healing.

When I’m not writing music or studying tech tricks, I’m cooking some overly-complicated dish and making my boyfriend Mario, who I live with in Portland, OR, clean up the mess. He gets to taste test, so he’s just fine with the trade. I love watching South Park, Big Mouth, and Bob’s Burgers, and I get weirdly competitive playing tennis. My social media restart now leaves more space for my favorite things—running in Pacific Northwest forests, lifting weights, Big Sur trips, blasting Matt Corby songs, attending Ecstatic Dance events, watching Mario play terrifying zombie video games (Resident Evil 2, The Last Of Us), drinking ungodly sour and fruity beers (Portland has more breweries than any city in the world WOOT WOOT BEER BELLIES), and dance nights with friends.

I’ve always found it impossible to define myself in those 150-character social media bios. Yet, I used to convince myself that the more consolidated and brandable my identity was, the more fulfilled and successful I would feel. We are SO much more than our statistics and sassy one-liner captions. My goal is for Tech Nutrition to help remind people, including myself, of that. I’m just as susceptible as anyone to believing the #hype—so here’s to health!
