Erin Murray Quinlan is a published Composer, Lyricist, and Playwright based in NYC and London, with credits Off-Broadway and beyond.

She studied composition and creative writing at Berklee College of Music, playwriting at the University of Oxford, and composition with the EAMA Nadia Boulanger Institute at the Schola Cantorum in Paris. She is also a composer/lyricist at the Tony Award-winning BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theater Advanced Workshop in NYC, and a protege of accomplished UK-based musical theater writer and director Paul Boyd.

Her latest show, God Save Queen Pam, had its Off-Broadway debut in the summer of 2018, and critics raved about the tight script, witty lyrics, and catchy music. "How Can I Tell You", her contribution to the album 'The MS Songbook' (lyrics co-written by Rory Sherman) was chosen again and again by reviewers as the favorite of the song cycle, called 'the cream of a very talented crop'. EMQ's work has been performed at many venues around the US and UK, including Off-Broadway at the Players Theater in NYC, the Duplex Theater, the Playwright in Boston, the Tabard Theater in London, and the Actors Studio in LA as well as smokers and showcases for BMI. For more, check out the resume page.
