Emotional Honesty and Musical Simplicity: Interview w/ Musician Charles Emanuel

"I’ve always loved some of the instrumentation that St. Kitt’s has…there’s this thing called, like, a string band where it’s... ukeleles, and guitars and, um, a fife...the musicality and also the honesty of lyrics because we also perform a genre called Calypso…So I always feel like I want to incorporate that in my music in terms of being honest and saying things or talking about things that are maybe not too comfortable but need to be said." --Charles Emanuel

Singer-songwriter Charles Emanuel joins me to discuss his exciting 2019 so far, some of the ups and downs of his music career, how his St. Kitt's childhood influenced his music, his experiences collaborating, and where he hopes to take his music going forward.
