The Internet is still a place for fairytales, as the amazing story of Emma Blackery shows.

Blackery is an unsigned British singer-songwriter and YouTuber who has been releasing music independently for years. Her YouTube channel has over 1.4 million subscribers and over 159 million video views.

Little did she know that the cover art for her DIY EP was going to be featured during a presentation at the Apple Event in Cupertino.

Her most recent track, "Magnetised", had a prominent position during a demonstration about Apple Music, among "No Data" by Dave Jack and "Green Light" by Lorde.

Blackery's cover suddenly reached millions of people across the globe, catapulting her from unsigned artist to household name.

As you can imagine, her reaction to the news was nothing less than glorious. Her excitement is just earnest and contagious.
