Hello Emily! Thanks for taking time to chat with us today! We
know you are busy out on the road – for fans that haven’t seen you – what can
they expect when they come out and catch a live show?
Hi, Thank you! For fans that have not seen me live,
they can expect a high energy show!! I put one thousand percent of myself
into every show I play, no matter what! I like to push the limits of what
people expect a violinist to do. My playing is very unique and unorthodox.
Do you have any weird or cool pre show rituals?
I don’t have too many weird preshow rituals. I think
pretty normal, I like to shower and I ALWAYS have tea before I perform. I
try to stretch before and when I do my hair and makeup is sort of my quiet
mediation time before the madness.
What was the first concert you ever attended and what impact
did that have on you?
I can’t remember exactly what my very first concert
was. I do remember at a young age seeing WAR. I was by far the
youngest person in the audience. I also very vividly remember seeing
David Grisman live with his amazing band. They are a fusion of bluegrass,
folk and jazz but they rock pretty hard. I was in awe of the musicianship
on stage. David Grisman has been a favorite of mine on the mandolin for a
long time!
Tell us when you knew that music was going to be something
you would pursue full time?
I knew from an extremely young age that I was going to be a
violinist and an alternative one at that! When I got to high school a lot
of people told me I would not be happy being a full time musician. That
was the only time I faltered in my decision to be a full time musician.
As fate would have it though, I was pulled back into the music world very
quickly when I was attending my junior college. I had graduated high school
early and was very young in college. Once I was recruited into the music
department at my junior college, it was full throttle from there on out!
Social media is a great way for fans to connect with their
favorite artist these days – what platform do you use the most?
I am very active on Instagram and Facebook!! I love to
interact with my fans, send me messages and comments! I love it.
Anything else you would like to share?
I love my fans!! Its what fuels the music world!
Thank you for everyone’s support.
