Our musical guest, Emma Brooke is a singer-songwriter from Northern New Jersey. She grew up listening to Britney Spears and Dolly Parton. As a result, her music falls under the style of Pop-Country. Emma's music is passionate and meaningful just like her desire for connecting with an audience through the stories within her songs. Emma has been writing originals since 2010 and music is a part of her everyday life. Emma is also a Jr. Vocal Coach for Zuketunes LLC. Among her students, she has Ty Rockey. Ty is a young boy with Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) which is an eye disorder that prevents light and color from being detected. A song titled "One Day" featured on her upcoming EP will have all proceeds go to his parents' foundation, www.tyseyes.com/" and towards research to find a cure for Ty and others.
