Emily Grace Whitehurst, also known as Agent M (born July 23, 1979) was the lead singer of the now-defunct California punk rock band Tsunami Bomb, and is currently the singer of The Action Design. She is the sister of fellow musician, the late Logan Whitehurst.

Whitehurst joined Tsunami Bomb in 1998 after the departure of original vocalist Kristin McRory. Whitehurst adopted the stage name Agent M at this time, and used it throughout her stay in the band. In 2000, Tsunami Bomb signed to Tomato Head Records and released their debut EP The Invasion from Within!, which would prove to be the top-selling release of the band's career. Their first full-length CD, The Ultimate Escape, followed in 2002. In 2004, the band released a final recording, The Definitive Act, on Kung Fu Records. Tsunami Bomb split up the following year. The members of Tsunami Bomb parted on good terms with each other [1].

Whitehurst and former Tsunami Bomb bassist Matt McKenzie have recently formed another band, The Action Design, with drummer Brett Friesen from Ariel Mile, and guitarist Jaycen McKissick from Pipedown. Whitehurst has said that The Action Design, will be different from Tsunami Bomb, embracing a more experimental approach.

In interviews, Whitehurst has cited Green Day and The Smiths as her biggest musical inspirations, saying her dream duet would be with Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day. She is reportedly also a fan of the band Glassjaw and Daryl Palumbo's subsequent band, Head Automatica.

Over the years, Whitehurst has made guest appearances on several other other bands' recordings, including the song My Town and Twins on Guttermouth's record Gusto. She also performed guest vocal on her brother Logan's album, Goodbye, My 4-Track. Agent M performed a song with The Bouncing Souls when Tsunami Bomb supported them on tour. She performs on MxPx album, On the Cover II, for 'Heaven is a Place On Earth'[2].
