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.

Being Your Own Best Creative Advocate with The Quarantined

“The thing that’s going to kill you first is your ego.”
How do we balance our desire to do it all and be it all--and all of the messaging that tells us to do those things--with our knowledge that we aren't always the foremost expert?
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Sean Martin of hard rock band The Quarantined to talk about how humility AND motivation can be collaborative forces in one's creative career. Sean shares about how the willingness to "start over" has been one of his greatest assets, how failure is actually a GOOD thing, and how “DIY has its place, but it can also destroy you if you only rely on it.” He also discusses how he managed to land his dream producer for The Quarantined's new album, Aversion to Normalcy.
