PROFESSIONAL SPEAKING BIO
Emma rose to fame with her art, in 2009 she created a portrait called “Death To Yesterday” which quickly became a hot topic across the United States then into China and Romania. Her ghostly style shocked and intrigued viewers because she infused urban decay, steampunk, gothic, and horror styles into one portrait to create a conversation.
She has always been behind the camera and not just a photographic one. In 2006 she started to work with a internationally touring rock band “16 Second Stare” and did most of their videography. In doing so she worked her way up to a co-band manager. She got to collaborate with Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl, Saigon Kick, KC and the Sunshine Band, Rob Zombie, Korn, Ace Frehley of Kiss and more. In 2010 she got to work on stage video taping the band during their Crue Fest 2 tour where they opened for Motley Crue, Cold, Seven Dust and a few other top ranking heavy metal and rock bands.
In 2012 Emma got out of the industry for a while and worked on copyrighting for a PR company that worked with people of all aspects of life. While working here she realized she had a story to tell so others in the art industry would have that too so she started her nationally syndicated radio show “The AME Radio Show”, which ran from 2012 till today. After COVID the art, music and entertainment theme took a hit so to keep the story going she molded it to feature stories of great accomplishments overcoming life’s challenges; that also caused the show to be rebranded as “It’s Emma’s World”. She has talked with some of the entertainment’s biggest names recording over 200 celebrity interviews. Her show became a go to outlet for coverage with Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, and Discovery.
In 2020 she assumed ownership of AMFM247 Broadcasting a syndicated radio station and she continues to grow the brand with top shows and prime FM locations from coast to coast.
