“The song “Diamond” is a love song. It’s about not settling for just anyone who you cross paths out of fear or desperation. It’s about finally finding someone who knows, sees, and honors your undeniable worth. Further, it’s about making the decision to take a chance at love with that person. Today there is so much pressure in society to be with someone. Many people feel that they have a void in their lives if they are not in a relationship and as a result they cling to whoever comes along - wishfully thinking things will work out even though they know deep down that it’s not. They give into the idea that love is not easy and love hurts at times. But love is not meant to be that way. It is not meant to be forced and true love doesn’t hurt."

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. She is also a trained public speaker for the National Association for Down Syndrome and received the President's Volunteer Service Award in 2010 from President Barack Obama.
