Jacqueline Emerson

Early life

From a young age, Emerson pursued an interest in both acting and singing, though never on-camera until she was of age. As a child and young adult, she participated in numerous radio commercials for film and television. She also performed in numerous professional productions with Reprise, the Los Angeles Opera, and L.A. Theater Works. She attended Marlborough School in Los Angeles.

After filming The Hunger Games, Emerson graduated from Stanford University, where she studied Mandarin and Communications with a focus on Media Psychology.

Career

Music

Emerson was a member of Disney's Devo 2.0 (a.k.a. DEV2.O), a Devo tribute band of teen performers. Emerson played keyboards in the project, which spawned a DVD and CD combo and was fully supported by the original Devo band members. In 2007, the novelty act broke up, when lead singer Nicole Stoehr and lead guitarist Nathan Norman quit and said they would never make music again because the album flopped. Emerson continued to write songs and perform music, where she started a YouTube Channel and released the music video of her single, "Peter Pan" and in the next year, "Catch Me If You Can". She later released an acoustic song, "Glass Fire In a Jar", in which she co-wrote with Adrianne Duncan. Since then, she has released multiple other singles, and has parlayed her talents into musical theater composition

Acting

She made her television debut providing the voice for a set of Tiger Twins in the 2004 animated CGI sitcom Father of the Pride.

In 2012, Emerson made her film debut in the science fiction adventure, The Hunger Games as the District 5 tribute, Foxface. In a 2013 interview, Emerson announced that she would be working on Son of the South. She appeared in the Video ETA's list of ten up and coming stars predicted to be A-listers by 2015.

Since then, Emerson has lent her voice to projects from Disney, DreamWorks and Bethesda.

She also starred, directed, composed and created multiple shorts which now exist online, or on her website.

As an actress, she has performed in numerous films and television shows, including FBI, The Night is ours, The Last Survivors, and The Curse of Downer's Grove.

Upcoming films she stars in include the recently released Wine Club (2024), and award-winning film Art Thief (2024). She also can be seen in the film Winter Spring Summer or Fall and is set to act in the film Kent State about the Kent State protests for Briarcliff.
