Emmallyea Swon Young
was born into a family of artists. Her father moved to Yogaville, and she grew up
around a bunch of swamis. She was a rebel at the ashram and has been a rebel ever
since, in her own, strange and intermittently charming way.
She followed the Grateful Dead for a while, and finally joined the Mammals of
Zod, where spiritual outlaws and freedom freaks meet. She is the soprano singer for
the Mammals of Zod, and sings like a bird, both literally and allusionistically (i.e., Mr.
Parker.) Her tight harmonies with Daniel Carter's horn playing are truly amazing.
In Lovesphere 3,
Emmallyea plays the role of a mermaid who is going through the very uncomfortable process
of growing legs.
