CHICAGO, IL | JULY 23: Country-Pop/Singer-Songwriter Emilia Walasik is transforming the Contemporary-Christian community through idiosyncratic storytelling that breaks genre stereotypes. Today, Emilia is thrilled to announce her new music video for “Serenity”, the title track from her newly released album. “Serenity”, released on July 23rd, 2021, was produced by Loyd Rieves and filmed, directed, and edited by Jakub Zajaczkowski of Jakub Pawel Production. “Serenity” explores letting go of what others say about you, letting go of the past, and leaning into the truth that your worth, inner strength, and beauty are undeniable. Emilia had this to say about the release:

“The message I want to convey through this song and video is a message of encouragement, hope, and empowerment. I want my listeners to realize their beauty, worth and strength come from God alone, and not from others. It is something they already possess and don't need to chase and find in toxic relationships, friendships, or through striving for the 'perfect' look/image, 'perfect' job/career, or 'perfect' approval from others. Looking for affirmation from other people will always leave us empty and craving for more. In this video, the Salt Flats symbolically represent a place of escape - a safe place of both one's mind and heart. It represents escaping from a place of fear, anxiety, and illusional perfection into a place of freedom, letting go, and joy. I hope my song and video encourages everyone who hears and sees it to embrace who they are and live in a way reflective of their God-given worth."

We all long for hopes and dreams that perhaps have been lost in the chaos and expectations of adulthood. For Emilia Walasik, she is not only living out her dreams but also bringing those difficult topics to light in a way that helps others to learn how to confront and embrace them. Chicago-based Singer-Songwriter/Contemporary-Christian artist Emilia Walasik is a Catholic musician and worship leader who started singing at the age of two and singing at Church at the age of 6. Inspired by a variety of acts such as Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell, Tori Kelly, Matthew West, Celtic Woman, Lea Salonga, and Rascal Flatts, Emilia combines distinctive storytelling with musical styles from pop, country, folk, classical-pop, and musical theatre defying genre stereotypes. Through her music, Emilia desires to help others to know the love, peace, and heart of Jesus through raw and authentic lyrical inspiration from her own difficult coming-of-age life experiences.

Well-known for her live performances and worship, Emilia has won over the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life. Performing at a variety of venues both nationally and internationally with her largest ranging audience of 2 million people in Krakow, Poland, Emilia has made dozens of appearances, all the while recording new songs. She has earned the admiration and affection of many, serving as both an inspiration and role model. Several of her major performances include: The Vatican for Pope Benedict XVI (2006), World Youth Day International Gatherings with Pope Francis in Poland (2016), and in Panama (2019). Aside from music, Emilia is a Disability Advocate for individuals with disabilities like her brother who was born with Down Syndrome.
