Ember Swift Ember Swift has been performing since she was ten years old. She started writing songs when she was nine, and performed her original work for the first time in grade eight (at age 13). Throughout high school, Ember submitted songs for school projects and would regularly charm her teachers into letting her write music rather than poetry or essays. I guess she was convincing! in Lifestyle > Musicwith australiaemberfolkinterestingjellymelbournemusicswifttouring
