Sister/Singer/Songwriters Emily & Samantha Schultz continue to discover, (sometimes uncomfortably) the power of vulnerability in shaping and maturing their artistic voices. Over the years, I have witnessed them carve out and navigate the complicated relationships that are demanded of artists and their art and to me, in a manner that demonstrated incredible courage and imagination. Trusting their intuitive powers and anchored by strong foundational values rooted in family, they continue to find ways to show up as their most authentic selves… as artists, as women, as daughters, partners and sisters, even when it has felt incredibly challenging to do so. Over the course of two conversations, we had the opportunity to trace from childhood what drew them both the music, the importance of finding and nurturing community, their ongoing articulation of what success means on a personal level and how both have been and continue to be in life and through their art, powerful advocates for mental health. They also shared some insight into their creative process, trusting that when they are open and ready for the muse to arrive, they stand a chance of capturing what they need to spin it into music.
