Torrini grew up in Kopavogur, where, at the age of 7, she joined a choir as a soprano, until she went to opera school at the age of 15. Her father is Italian and her mother is Icelandic.

Because of name regulations in Iceland at the time, her father Salvatore Torrini had to change his name to "Davio Eiriksson", which also implied that Emiliana Torrini had to use the surname after her father in the traditional way; "Emiliana Torrini Daviosdottir". A few years later, the name regulations were changed, and she was again allowed to use her original surname. She grew up with her parents in Iceland. Her father owned and operated a well-known Italian restaurant in Iceland (Italia, located at Laugavegur 11 in Reykjavik) after being discovered singing in a restaurant in Iceland by Derek Birkett the owner of One little indian records who subsequently asked her over to London to write a record. Torrini decided to stay and live there. She has a son, who was born on 6 September 2010. She has been a member of Icelandic artist group GusGus, and contributed vocals to several songs on their debut Polydistortion (1997), most notably "Why" She co-wrote Kylie Minogue’s "Slow" and "Someday" from her Body Language album in 2003.

She also produced "Slow" along with Dan Carey; the two were nominated for a Best Dance Recording Grammy Award in 2005 for their work on the track. Prior to these, she contributed vocals to songs on Thievery Corporation's 2002 record The Richest Man in Babylon and was credited with composing the songs "Resolution", "Until The Morning", and "Heaven's Gonna Burn Your Eyes" from that album.
