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.

Creative Chemistry and Musical Improvisation with Stephane Wrembel
"You just have to let the magic happen."
For his brand new album, Django New Orleans II - Hors Série, legendary guitarist Stephane Wrembel stretched himself as a musician, composer, and vocalist. In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Stephane to talk about the process by which his new album came together, from his time in the studio to his time meditating on different themes and sounds for the record. Stephane shares some of his best practicing tips, reflects on singing at the mic for the first time on an album, and talks about the magic that happens when you get the right musicians in the right room at the same time and allow them the space and opportunity to be themselves.
Emmeline and Stephane also talk briefly about psychology and how our human desire for unity manifests in music! Plus, hear two new full tracks from Stephane's new album: his favorite, "Nature Boy," and his original composition, "Holden Caulfield."
