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.

“If you’re giving your all for a full house, that’s expected. But if you’re giving your all for just a few people, that’s a big deal. People remember that.”
Incremental steps lead to great progress--but staying a student of creativity can be hard sometimes. In this episode, Emmeline sits down with rap artist, sound engineer, and open mic host Manii to talk about why the arts are a slow burn--and why that's okay! He shares his path to professional musicianship and discusses how little wins can add up. He also discusses the importance of community in finding inspiration and listening to that little creative voice inside of you. Lastly, Manii offers a sneak peek of a brand new remix he's been creating.
