EMMA ZECK

Hailing from Texas, singer/songwriter Emma Zeck knows intimately the journey of transforming herself from victim into victor using the power of her voice, her poetry, and her song. Emma sang and played piano as a child, but due to familial trauma completely stopped singing for 12 years and in fact, for those years did not consider herself to even have a voice.

Instead as a teenager she found solace through writing poetry and scribbling in her journals.  Her writing began to morph into melodies and songs in her mid twenties and through a series of spiritual transformations over the course of years, Emma zealously began the journey of reclaiming her voice. “I sing for every woman who feels that holy fire burning within to reclaim her life, for herself.” The songs on Emma’s debut EP were originally poems that she transformed into captivating melodies with the help of Producer David Percefull. Her powerhouse yet buttery vocals howl on about her pain, her forgiveness, her hopes, her deaths, desires and joy.
