Using Your Voice to Honor Your Heroes with Lisa Nobumoto Artwork

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 every Sunday night at 5 PM CST on Deep Ellum Radio. Then, each episode is available as a podcast the very next day!

"I'm just so grateful."

That's what legendary jazz vocalist Lisa Nobumoto says over and over to Emmeline in this episode as she talks about her life as a touring vocalist, her time with masters like Teddy Edwards, and the creation of her nonprofit organization, The Jazz Masters Series.

In this episode, Lisa discusses her brand new album, A Tribute to Jazz Singer Nancy Wilson. She also talks about how she began making music, what mentorship looks like, and why the parents of musicians should be supportive first and judgmental second--if at all! She also shares with Emmeline her lifelong mission to uplift, honor, and celebrate jazz music of all kinds--from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Memphis--through the Jazz Masters Series and the Jazz Masters Orchestra.
