- Episode 1.5: Becoming Emily Esperanza (changing my artist name!)
*This episode will be conducted in both English and Spanish/ Este episodio se realiza en inglés y en español*
Big announcement! For 4 years now, I have gone by Emily Hope for my music and accounts. However, I have recently decided to change my artistic name to Emily Esperanza. Listen to this episode to hear why I chose this new name, and some funny stories about being confused with other Emily Hopes. At the end, I explain it all again in Spanish for a little bit of listening practice or for the spanish-speaking listeners.
