Emily Perkins - Life In The Spotlight.

There are moments that no else sees, those quite moments that are not yet signaled to conclude by the sound of the curtain cord and the flare of the lights, where the breaths are deeper and the heartbeat is more bold. It holds the excitement of unveiling humor, captured minds, and lightening weights of the bustling hum of audience that are arriving. It's the knowledge that whatever happens tonight will never be again. This is show. The house lights dim, the curtain is pulled, then there in the middle of the stage, a spotlight. It's one more breath, the orchestra begins, shoulders back, chin up, it is show time. You may have had the experience of escapism when Emily Perkins stepped into the spotlight, but the same feeling does not fade when the spotlight does. The genesis of Perkins natural prowess was nurtured by her mother and her boisterous personality. “I grew up in a musical family. So my mom taught all three of us kids to sing. She would have us like stick our fingers in our ears and sing rounds until we figured out how to stay on our parts. So that's how I learned how to sing harmony from a very early age…..But my mom has a gorgeous voice and actually, honestly, my whole family can, they can all sing. Some of them have not used it as much as I have. But that doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to do so. But, I grew up in a musical family so I always was interested in the arts. They joked that I could sing before I could talk. And so that was always something that I loved. I think being the youngest child you always kind of like are looking for a way to stand out a little bit, you know, make your mark. So I was always ready for a little bit of attention. I think that that has had a big impact on sort of how I ended up pursuing the arts and sort of wanting to get on the stage. And for sure, like my musical ability, my mom, the bass line that I got with her was better than having music lessons as a kid. So that was a really good start for me.” Her name is known throughout many local counties, in this there is richness.
