- Emmanuelle Grey "Emmy" Rossum (born September 12, 1986) is an American actress and singer-songwriter. She has starred in films such as The Day After Tomorrow, Poseidon, The Phantom of the Opera and Dragonball Evolution.
Rossum was born in New York City, New York,[1] the only child[2][3] of Cheryl, a single mother who worked as a corporate photographer and an investment banker. She was named after her grandfather, whose first name was Emanuel. However, she was given the name Emmanuelle, using the feminine spelling.[citation needed] Her parents divorced when her mother was pregnant. Rossum was raised by her mother and has only met her father twice. Her song "Anymore," from her album Inside Out, is based on this experience.[4] Her family is Jewish.[5] She is the niece of Vera Wang, to whom she is related by marriage.
Upon singing "Happy Birthday" in 12 different keys,[6] Rossum was welcomed to join the Metropolitan Opera Children's Chorus by chorus director Elena Doria.[7] Over the course of five years, she sang onstage and had the chance to perform with other opera greats, such as Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. For $5–10 a night, Rossum sang in six different languages, in 20 different operas, including La bohème, Turandot, a Carnegie Hall presentation of La damnation de Faust and A Midsummer Night's Dream.[8] She also worked under the direction of Franco Zeffirelli in Carmen. Rossum joked in interviews that her vocal talent and affinity for music developed because her mother always listened to classical music and operas while she was pregnant with her.
By age 12, Rossum had grown too big for the children's costumes. An increasing interest in pursuing acting led to taking classes with Flo Salant Greenberg[9] of The Actor's Workshop in New York City. She also hired an agent, and subsequently, auditioned for many acting roles.
After her role in The Phantom of the Opera, Rossum was offered several deals to record classical albums, but refused, opting to create an album of contemporary, more mainstream music. Rossum said, "I was inspired to cut this album because I'm so frustrated listening to the radio these days. There is so little emotional honesty".[6] Regarding the sound and style of her music, she said, "It's pop music, but not Britney Spears bubblegum pop. I want it to have a David Gray or Annie Lennox feel. I've been spending up to 12 hours a day in the studio".[6] Rossum cites Dolly Parton, Madonna, Cher and Barbra Streisand as some of her influences.
Rossum's album, entitled Inside Out, was produced by Stuart Brawley. It was released on October 23, 2007. For the promotion of the record, Geffen Records featured the song, "Slow Me Down", as part of the second volume of Hollywood Records' Girl Next compilation album, which was released on July 10, 2007.
On October 27, 2007, Rossum sang the national anthem at the New Jersey Devils' first home game of the 2007–08 NHL season, which was also the first game the team played in the newly-constructed Prudential Center. In December 2007, Rossum released three Christmas songs on the EP Carol of the Bells.
Rossum describes herself as a light lyric soprano, though she admits her voice is still developing.
Rossum is a 1996 graduate of the Spence School, a private school in Manhattan.[18] She received her high school diploma at 15 years old via online extension courses offered by Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY).[18] She currently attends Columbia University.[19]
Rossum is a YouthAIDS ambassador.[11] She is also the official spokesperson for "PiNKiTUDE" - a campaign to help raise breast cancer awareness.[20] Rossum is a passionate gay rights supporter and was present at recent Proposition 8 rally in Los Angeles.
Rossum is gluten-intolerant. She revealed to MTV News that she is allergic to wheat after MTV News gave her a cupcake on-camera to celebrate her 22nd birthday; she was only able to eat the frosting.[21]
