Journey of an Artist
The path to success is rarely a straight line. And the path to success as a creative professional? That line tends to be especially squiggly. In the new series, Journey of an Artist, singer-songwriter and poet, Emmeline, talks to creatives from all walks of life about their passions, their paths, and the persistence they’ve employed to reach a point of professional and personal fulfillment. Emmeline sits down with voice actors, poets, dancers, musicians, graphic designers, stylists, and more to discuss the decisions they’ve made, the challenges they’ve faced, the obstacles they’ve overcome, and where they’d like their vision to take them next. She also reinforces the belief that—with love, grit, perseverance, and an abundance of joy—anything is possible.You can live the life you want, the life that brings you the most joy, and Emmeline's guests are living proof. Episodes air most Sundays at 12 PM CST on Deep Ellum Radio. For behind-the-scenes information and insights, follow Emmeline on Instagram at @EmmelineMusic.

Honoring Your Creative Truth with Buddy Red
"I should be enough for what it is that I want." - Buddy Red
How do you make your own path as an artist when everyone is telling you to be something you're not?
Buddy Red has answers. The son of famed rapper T.I. is paving his own way in the music industry as a rock-infused blues guitarist with soulful riffs and visceral vocals. His music is both an ode to his heroes--greats like Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd--and something that is uniquely his.
In this episode, Buddy Red sits down with Emmeline live from the Launch Music Conference in Dallas to talk about finding his creative truth in a sea of voices offering advice and guidance. He shares his struggle to find a corner for himself within the industry and talks about the joy of recording his latest single, "Sold His Soul." Lastly, he asks for recommendations for the best brisket in Dallas!
