  Episode 46: Emma Zinck

  Jul 16, 202639 min

  Emma Zinck moved to Nashville from Fredericksburg, Virginia six years ago with nothing but a guitar — and built her career the hard way, one Broadway bar set and writing room at a time. In this episode, Emma talks about the grind of establishing herself in Music City, the leap of faith that brought her to Nashville in the first place, and how her persistence caught the attention of hitmaker Bridgette Tatum (writer of Jason Aldean's "She's Country"), leading to her first publishing deal with SoNash. Emma also opens up about the craft of songwriting and what it takes to develop your own voice while learning from artists who've already had the hits. Listen as artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs turn their dreams into a life on the open road. Check out Emma’s music: https://www.emmazinck.com/ Check out our sponsor: https:// usrentalvans.com
