Emily Mahin Beihold is an American singer and songwriter. She started learning the piano and writing songs at the age of seven. Em fully profited from the rise of TikTok by publishing her songs on the platform. The attention her tracks got there landed her a record deal in 2021.

Just in time for Halloween, she now releases her new single Scared Of The Dark. An emotionally charged pop song about co-dependency.  The fear she sings about symbolises her fear to be left alone.

Beihold has been performing the song live since early 2025 to an enthusiastic response by her fans. Scared Of The Dark will be on her debut album, which she’s currently working on.

Scared Of The Dark by Em Beihold is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
