Combining Creativity and Discipline with Stephane Wrembel 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!

Combining Creativity and Discipline with Stephane Wrembel

January 17, 2025 • Emmeline; Stephane Wrembel • Season 2 • Episode 10

"You always have to work hard, but you also have to feed your soul."

How do we balance mastery and play? External and internal validation? Focus on self and audience?

In this episode, Emmeline sits down with the legendary French jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel to tackle these questions and more. Stephane talks about his time studying with the French gypsies, his experiences at the Berklee School of Music, and his time on tour with his band. He also brings some philosophy and mythology into his discussion about what it really means to be a musical artist--even citing Apollo and Dionysus! He and Emmeline also discuss the choices we make as musicians, and how those choices can help us shape our voice.

Stephane is on tour and will be in the DFW area on January 18th, 2025! Catch him at:

Zounds Sounds B-Side from 2-4 PM
Scat Jazz Lounge in Fort Worth at 8 PM and 10 PM
