Games We Play on Tour
The early 2000s pop-punk scene is alive and well as proven by the charismatic artist Emmyn Calleiro a.k.a. Games We Play. Known for his catchy lyrics, multi-instrumental skill and excellent voice, Games We Play has amassed notoriety through his viral online presence. His likability and positive attitude is felt throughout the crowd during his live shows, leading to a remarkable performance by an incredibly skilled musician. First releasing his five-song EP Senior Year in 2018, Games We Play continued to make music into the 2020s, with his single "Story of a Love Song" in 2021 and his EP Get a Job in 2022.
Games We Play Live in Concert
Born in Miami, and now based in Los Angeles, Games We Play has been involved with music his entire life. Inspired by bands like Blink-182, he learned how to play bass and drums in church while also honing his guitar and vocal abilities. After dropping out of 8th grade, Calleiro (with the help of his parents) began to completely focus on his musical career by relocating to Nashville. In 2021, he released his single "Deadbeat" which gained popularity on TikTok. This hit was soon followed by another single, "I Hope You're Happy," which went hyper-viral on TikTok amassing millions of views while landing on Spotify's Viral 50 playlist. The popularity of this song led Games We Play to sign with Fueled By Ramen/DCD2 records. Since his newly found fame, Calleiro has performed across North America and has continued to make online videos, which are regularly viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. With more than 350,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, 400,000 followers on TikTok and 9.5 million streams on his hit "I Hope You're Happy," Games We Play is at the forefront of the pop-punk resurgence.

First of all literally the best concert I ever been too. Emmyn is full of energy and always keeps the crowd involved I feel like he’s very personable! Very easy to relate to and his lyric go hard everytime! ✌🏼LOVE GWP! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!
Games We Play brings a crowd experience and an atmosphere that i’ve never seen any other artist capture. The energy was 1000% and I love seeing them perform.
The best show I’ve seen this year. GWP is AMAZING!
Both opening acts were great - but "Games We Play"is freaking awesome!! Fun - energetic - funny great music - they have quickly grown to one of my go to bands when I need some fun and cheering up. I can't wait to see Emmyn and his boys again!!
Great show by Games We Play!! Opening act was amazing too!
The venue was nice, the artists were great but the prices once you get inside are insane. My boyfriend carries a gallon of water everywhere (he drinks a lot of water) and they told him to throw it away before we went in. Then, they charge you $7 for a can of “Liquid Death” water. It’s insane.
Awesome show, great stage presence. This is the third tome I’ve seen him and love it every time
One of the best shows I have ever been to. Emmyn is the GOAT
Games we play was epic! Throughly enjoyed their show! Emmyn met the crowd out back after the show for a few songs and pictures and autographs. Really, a great guy. House Parties was good as well, and Zoe Ko reminded me a lot of Letters to Cleo!
