&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Emily Savitri Haines&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (born 25 January 1974) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She is the lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter of the rock band [[Metric (band)|Metric]] and a member of [[Broken Social Scene]]. As a solo artist, she has performed under her own name and under the moniker &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Haines possesses the [[vocal range]] of a [[mezzo-soprano]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/emily-haines-the-soft-skeleton/knives-dont-have-your-back.htm |title=Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton – Review |work=Stylus Magazine |date=26 September 2006 |access-date=14 January 2013 |first=Liz |last=Colville |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002040114/http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/emily-haines-the-soft-skeleton/knives-dont-have-your-back.htm |archive-date=2 October 2012  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&amp;amp;parid=8129| title=Metric – &amp;quot;Breathing Underwater&amp;quot; Review| work=Nylon Mag| date=15 June 2012| access-date=14 January 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006110731/http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&amp;amp;parid=8129| archive-date=6 October 2014| url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url = http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/14574/metrics-latest-acoustic-ep-plug-in-plug-out-softens-its-usually-energetic-sound| title = Metric&amp;#039;s latest acoustic EP &amp;#039;Plug In, Plug Out&amp;#039; softens its usually energetic sound| work=Collegiate Times| date=2 November 2009| access-date=14 January 2013| first=Ryan| last=Arnold}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Born in New Delhi, India,&amp;lt;ref name = grid&amp;gt;{{cite news | last=Shea | first=C. | date=21 November 2012 | url=http://www.thegridto.com/city/people/emily-haines-metric-lead-singer/ | title=Emily Haines: Metric Lead Singer | newspaper=[[The Grid (newspaper)|The Grid]] | access-date=28 December 2012 | archive-url=https://archive.is/20130204135055/http://www.thegridto.com/city/people/emily-haines-metric-lead-singer/ | archive-date=4 February 2013 | url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and raised in [[Fenelon Falls]], [[Ontario]], Haines grew up as a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, the latter related to her American-born parents.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Taking Measurements: An Interview with Metric – PopMatters |url=http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/metric-041013 |quote=I have an identity crisis which is not resolved because I&amp;#039;m a dual citizen. My whole family is American, and I was born in India but I was raised in Fenelon Falls Canada. But all my extended family is American, I&amp;#039;ve held an American passport and I&amp;#039;ve spent my whole adult life in between New York and LA. So I feel like an American… and I also feel like a Canadian! I wish more people were dual citizens and then I wouldn&amp;#039;t feel like such a freak.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She is the daughter of Canadian poet [[Paul Haines (poet)|Paul Haines]]. Haines&amp;#039;s mother started a school in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.emilyhaines.com/#bio|title=Home|website=Emily Haines|access-date=4 October 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Her sister is the Canadian television journalist [[Avery Haines]] and her brother is Tim Haines, owner of Bluestreak Records in [[Peterborough, Ontario]], Canada.&amp;lt;ref name = grid/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After settling in Fenelon Falls, Ontario at the age of three, she grew up in a house rich with experimental art and musical expression. Paul would often make cassettes of rare and eclectic music for his daughter to listen to and her early influences included [[Carla Bley]], [[Robert Wyatt]], and later [[PJ Harvey]]. By her teens, she followed in her parents&amp;#039; footsteps by attending the [[Etobicoke School of the Arts]] (ESA) to study drama. There she met [[Amy Millan]] and [[Kevin Drew]], with whom she would later collaborate in [[Broken Social Scene]] (co-founded by Drew), a [[musical collective]]. During their time at ESA, Haines and Millan formed their first band together (around 1990), and she also briefly dated Drew.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Berman, Stuart. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;This Book Is Broken.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 2009&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines attended the [[University of British Columbia]] in Vancouver between 1992 and 1993, and [[Concordia University]] in Montreal between 1995 and 1996. In 1996, she distributed a limited-edition album entitled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Cut in Half and Also Double]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; that included songs written and recorded during her student years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation | last =Mullin | first =Kyle | title =Sisters of music: Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines&amp;#039; lifelong friendship with Stars&amp;#039; Amy Millan | newspaper =Monday Magazine | date =7 November 2012 | url =https://www.mondaymag.com/entertainment/sisters-of-music/ | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20190118202630/https://www.mondaymag.com/entertainment/sisters-of-music/ | archive-date =18 January 2019 | access-date =18 January 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines&amp;#039;s middle name is Savitri. She is named after &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, an epic poem by [[Sri Aurobindo]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Emily-Haines.jpg|thumb|Haines in 2006]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines met [[James Shaw (musician)|James Shaw]] in Toronto in 1997. Initially, the duo&amp;#039;s name was &amp;quot;Mainstream&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=spinmag&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Why They&amp;#039;re Called... Metric – SPIN – Profiles – Spotlight|url=https://www.spin.com/2010/07/why-theyre-called-metric/|access-date=21 April 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After releasing an [[Extended play|EP]] entitled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mainstream EP]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, they changed the band&amp;#039;s name to &amp;quot;Metric&amp;quot;, after a sound that was programmed by Shaw on his keyboard in 1997 or 1998.&amp;lt;ref name=spinmag /&amp;gt; Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key joined the band in 2001.&amp;lt;ref name=allmusic&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Metric – Music Biography, Credits and Discography : AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/metric-mn0000380651|access-date=25 April 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of September 2018, Metric has released seven studio albums: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2003), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Live It Out]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2005), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Grow Up and Blow Away]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2007, but recorded in 2001), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Fantasies (album)|Fantasies]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2009), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Synthetica]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2012), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Pagans in Vegas]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2015), and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Art of Doubt]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2018).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her time in Metric, Haines also contributed vocals or backing vocals to songs by Broken Social Scene, [[Jason Collett]], [[Stars (Canadian band)|Stars]], [[Delerium]], [[K-Os]], [[KC Accidental]], [[The Stills]], [[Tiësto]], [[The Crystal Method]] and [[Todor Kobakov]].{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004, Metric appeared in the 2004 drama film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Clean (movie)|Clean]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Haines and the rest of the band, appearing as themselves, performed their song &amp;quot;Dead Disco&amp;quot; and completed minor speaking roles in a backstage scene. &amp;quot;Dead Disco&amp;quot; also featured on &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Clean (movie)|Clean Original Soundtrack]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Haines released the studio album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Knives Don&amp;#039;t Have Your Back]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, under the moniker &amp;quot;Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton&amp;quot;. The songs &amp;quot;Our Hell&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Doctor Blind&amp;quot; were issued as singles and corresponding music videos were produced. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Knives Don&amp;#039;t Have Your Back&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was followed in 2007 by the EP &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[What Is Free to a Good Home?]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;—recordings that were inspired by the death of her father.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;altmusic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://altmusic.about.com/od/interviews/a/metric.htm |title=Interview: Emily Haines of Metric |first=Anthony |last=Carew |publisher=About.com |date=6 April 2009 |access-date=17 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514021630/http://altmusic.about.com/od/interviews/a/metric.htm |archive-date=14 May 2013  }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I found myself with a body of work that was dealing with a whole whack of themes that really weren&amp;#039;t suited to Metric. It would&amp;#039;ve been very strange to bring those songs to a band. The way Metric songs usually develop is that I write something on the piano that sounds a lot like those songs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;altmusic&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Emily Haines - Ottawa Bluesfest 2011 - 2.jpg|thumb|Haines at the 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her solo work is typically more subdued and piano-based than her work with Metric. She occasionally plays solo shows, with [[Amy Millan]] featured as the opening act.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Haines, the album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Synthetica&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is &amp;quot;about forcing yourself to confront what you see in the mirror when you finally stand still long enough to catch a reflection. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Synthetica&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is about being able to identify the original in a long line of reproductions. It&amp;#039;s about what is real vs what is artificial.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.spin.com/2012/04/metric-offer-peek-creative-process-behind-synthetica// |title=Metric Offer Peek into Creative Process Behind &amp;#039;Synthetica&amp;#039; |work=SPIN Magazine |date=17 April 2012 |access-date=17 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The album contains the song &amp;quot;The Wanderlust&amp;quot;, Haines&amp;#039;s collaboration with [[Lou Reed]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/10/28/metric-lou-reed-wanderlust_n_4170594.html|title=Metric On Recording Lou Reed Duet &amp;#039;The Wanderlust&amp;#039;|date=28 October 2013|work=HuffPost Canada|access-date=13 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an August 2013 interview, Haines reflected on the early years of her musical career in relation to the success of Metric in 2013:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are a million things that I could have done that would have made it less difficult in the beginning, but the moments I&amp;#039;m most proud of are those first shows where we managed to get 15 people in a random bar to be committed to what&amp;#039;s happening with the music. I know it&amp;#039;s hard for people to imagine that would be the hardest shows we&amp;#039;ve ever played. I&amp;#039;ve played with Lou [Reed], I&amp;#039;ve played to tens of thousands of people, I&amp;#039;ve played for the Queen, but nothing is harder than those moments when you have the conviction to play in front of those 15 people and own it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines Makes Style Poetic|url=http://www.refinery29.com/emily-haines#slide-5|publisher=refinery29|access-date=29 August 2013|date=August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines has explained that she is a &amp;quot;big leaver&amp;quot; when she encounters difficulty with the creative process, or is lacking inspiration. Prior to the fourth Metric album &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fantasies&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Haines traveled to Argentina. Haines further explains: &amp;quot;The advice that I would give anyone is just get over yourself and forget yourself. Realize what you don&amp;#039;t know ... Don&amp;#039;t be so precious about yourself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines Makes Style Poetic|url=http://www.refinery29.com/emily-haines#slide-11|publisher=refinery29|access-date=29 August 2013|date=August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emily Haines became good friends with Lou Reed and [[Laurie Anderson]] before Reed&amp;#039;s death.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rollingstone.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/metrics-emily-haines-pays-tribute-to-lou-reeds-integrity-and-humor-20131028|title=Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines on Lou Reed&amp;#039;s Integrity and Humor|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=31 October 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Lou Reed and Emily met, he asked if she would rather be The Beatles or The Rolling Stones and she shot back &amp;quot;Velvet Underground.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rollingstone.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines performed with Broken Social Scene on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 30 March 2017.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/news/63964-broken-social-scene-return-with-halfway-home-first-new-song-in-7-years-listen/|title=Broken Social Scene Return With &amp;quot;Halfway Home,&amp;quot; First New Song in 7 Years: Listen |website=Pitchfork |access-date=23 April 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines contributed to Broken Social Scene&amp;#039;s album Hug of Thunder, released summer 2017. It is their first new album in seven years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/07/broken-social-scene-share-first-album-in-seven-years-hug-of-thunder-stream/|title=Broken Social Scene share first album in seven years, Hug of Thunder: Stream|date=3 July 2017|work=Consequence of Sound|access-date=31 July 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In May 2017, Haines was with Broken Social Scene in Manchester, England, the night after the [[Manchester Arena bombing|terror attack at the Ariana Grande concert]].  Haines attributes her ability to carry on and play after the attack to the support of former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/metric_singer_emily_haines_says_johnny_marr_helped_her_through_broken_social_scenes_post-attack_manchester_gig|title=Emily Haines Explains How Johnny Marr Helped Her Through Broken Social Scene&amp;#039;s Post-Attack Manchester Gig|website=exclaim.ca|access-date=7 July 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines released the second studio album as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Choir of the Mind&amp;#039;&amp;#039; on 15 September 2017.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Instruments==&lt;br /&gt;
When performing live with her band Metric, Haines sings and plays two synthesizers. Her primary synthesizer is a [[Sequential Circuits]] Pro-One, which she has played since the band&amp;#039;s early years.&amp;lt;ref name=gearwire&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Sequential Circuits Pro-One Is Always Onstage With Emily Haines of Metric – YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXa0_Cfcf9Q|access-date=29 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As secondary synthesizer, she played a [[Kawai]] MP9000 in Metric&amp;#039;s early years,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Metric – Interview in an east village bar (NY) 2001 – YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMr6lXUSsyo|access-date=29 August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which was replaced by [[E-mu]] PK-6 Proteus Keys from 2003 to 2011, and followed by [[Clavia Nord Wave]] since 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During some Metric live songs, Haines also plays a [[tambourine]] or an electric guitar.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Review: Canadian indie band Metric rocks the Fillmore Miami Beach |publisher=miami.com |url=http://www.miami.com/review-canadian-indie-band-metric-rocks-fillmore-miami-beach-article}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During Metric [[acoustic music|acoustic]] appearances, Haines sings and sometimes plays piano or harmonica, while her bandmate [[James Shaw (musician)|James Shaw]] plays the acoustic guitar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines sang and played a piano when she performed live with a backing band as Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Emily Haines &amp;amp; The Soft Skeleton – Live Review on The Red Alert|url=http://www.theredalert.com/reviews/haines.php}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other projects==&lt;br /&gt;
As of late August 2013, Haines is involved with FLEET4HEARme, a collaboration between herself, Fleet Jewelry, and HearMe—the latter is an organization that aims to increase children&amp;#039;s access to music programs in public schools. In support of the project, Haines explained: &amp;quot;I feel like anybody who wants to play an instrument should be able to.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines Makes Style Poetic|url=http://www.refinery29.com/emily-haines#slide-1|publisher=refinery29|access-date=29 August 2013|date=August 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; September 2015, [[Rudsak]] unveiled a leather jacket customized by Emily Haines.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title = Metric&amp;#039;s Emily Haines teams with Montreal brand Rudsak on design collaboration|url = http://www.torontosun.com/2015/08/25/metrics-emily-haines-teams-with-montreal-brand-rudsak-on-design-collaboration|newspaper = Toronto Sun |agency = The Canadian Press |access-date = 26 September 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The jacket is a classic black motor-cycle style with lyrics from &amp;quot;The Governess&amp;quot; on the back.&lt;br /&gt;

Metric is active with Global Citizen, which aims to tackle the world&amp;#039;s most challenging issues via social change, and Haines is also involved with its girls and women issues campaign #SheDecides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haines partnered with &amp;quot;House of Matriarch High Perfumery&amp;quot; to create a fragrance called &amp;quot;Siren&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.matriarch.biz/products/siren?variant=6060659540006|title=Siren - Emily Haines - 15ml with Collector&amp;#039;s Presentation &amp;amp; Autographed Sleeve - Limited Edition - House of Matriarch - SEATTLE, WA - Natural, Organic, Vegan, Artisan &amp;amp; Niche High Perfumery|last=Perfumery|first=House of Matriarch - SEATTLE, WA - Natural, Organic, Vegan, Artisan &amp;amp; Niche High|website=www.matriarch.biz|access-date=13 February 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
