Emily Lazar is a creative force who has achieved success in various artistic outlets.

She is a multi- disciplinary artist fronting the rock band September Mourning which is based on a comic book series that she created and  is published through Image/ Top Cow Comics. She designed the costuming and fashion of the world which she brings to life on stage… and has also recently extended the storyline through music/ animation/ art/ storytelling  NFT’s she released which are now sold out on Open Sea. She made history as being the first female metal/ rock musician to mint and sell an NFT online.

The music tells an epic tale of “heartbreak, loss, pain, joy, love, redemption, but most of all, courage…” while the comic books chronicle the first two chapters of her story. September Mourning revives the concept of rock star meets superhero. If Marilyn Manson and X-Men's Storm had a kid, it would be September Mourning, who also cites influences as varied as Rob Zombie, Disturbed, and Muse.

“For me, the project is a story, a theatrical art piece,” Lazar explains. “Music is the backbone, but for this to work, it has to include the imagery and the narrative all symbiotically linked into the live performance, videos, art, nft’s etc. Music taps into your innermost being. There’s something very intimate and personal about it.”

The character of September Mourning is a human-reaper hybrid, who feels the need to give some human souls a second chance, and thus starts an epic battle between the living and the dead. To expound on this narrative, Lazar created, wrote and published the graphic novel (four books in one) entitled “September Mourning: The Complete Collection” through Image/ Top Cow Comics in partnership with  iconic comic book artist Marc Silvestri, who is working on Batman comics and is owner of Top Cow Productions (Witchblade, The Darkness). and partner in Image Comics.Together, they pulled together the story of September Mourning in graphic form, to accompany, and enhance the musical message.

Having performed at large festivals like Rock on the Range and Download Festival and shared the stage with acts like Rob Zombie, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch among others,  September Mourning has already built up an impressive fan base, which she calls her “Children of Fate,” constantly encouraging them to have “the courage to embrace their passion… to allow yourself to follow your heart and not be a slave to your fears. To know that the only boundaries that exist in our lives are the ones we allow.”

Lazar's creative talents extend into visual art/ modeling, as well. She has been the face of many alternative fashion companies' campaigns over the years such as Manic Panic NYC, Draven Shoes, Leg Avenue and the Japanese line Komachi Dark Lolita to name a few.... often styling the campaigns herself.
