At the age of 14 she began singing at Steve Cameron's Gospel Choir in Hadsund where she got several solo parts.

She recorded her first album in 2007 with the second album in 2008, both focusing on classic rock, folk and blues.
Emmelie de Forest claims to be the great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, as her grandfather, Count Maurice Arnold de Forest supposedly was an illegimate child of King Edward VII. The claim was made in a Danish newspaper, where her great-grandfather was erroneously specified to be "King Edward X". Her grandfather married into the Swedish nobility (Armfelt family).
