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.
Journey of an Artist
Answering the Creative Call with Kris Schultz & Charlie Richards
"There's at least one moment in each episode where I think, 'What on earth am I doing?'"
As artists, we all have a vision of doing something unique, something eye-catching--something that's never been done before. Our crazy ideas and esoteric visions often persist through a gut feeling that somehow, some way, the insane thing that we're planning or imagining just might work.
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Austin-based musicians Kris Schultz and Charlie Richards to talk about their grant-winning video series, Songs in Places. In the series, Kris Schultz plays her beautiful, vulnerable songs acoustically in one take in public places. The duo shares the crazy idea that started the series, how the vision has progressed through the episodes, and which moments made for what they believe to be the most entertaining takes. They also talk about the challenges they face during shooting, the ways in which they encourage each other's music, and the funniest behind-the-scenes moments in each episode.
