In light of recent events I don’t feel like posting about anything. I’m kind of depressed at what the world is becoming.
But, I thought I would try to talk about something that means a lot to me. This is a picture of emzy.collins. He’s a musician based out of Detroit, Michigan. I have known him for almost a year now. I met him in a really funny way. Heath Ledger had died and I was going around MySpace looking at all the tribute sites that were up for Heath. And then I had heard this most amazing song. It was by emzy.collins. I contacted him on MySpace and set up and interview. I have interviewed him three times now. He’s a different kind of musician, he really cares about his fans. He also does these live shows on the internet to help people like me get to see him live. We can also ask questions and find out more about him that way too. I just email him usually if I have a question. That’s what happens when you get to know him.
He’s unsigned at the moment. But I really would love to tell him I got him a record deal. I have tried everything possible to try and get him noticed. And by using what I know I hope it works. I thought I would include my favorite song by him. So you can judge for yourself.
What’s really neat about emzy is that he has never taken a music lesson in his life. You can look at it bad or good. He can listen to a song and then play it. I wish I had that talent!
What is something you wish you could do for someone?
Images belong to emzy.collins.
very talented indeed, great sound.

mend a heart.
do you know where can i download his music? “we’re all standing” gives me goosebumps. thank you for some balance of beauty in these trying times, taylorblue.
You can buy his music on his website in the store… http://www.emzycollins.com/store/
but he doesn’t have that song up to download yet, he wants to rework it yet. He literally wrote it the day Heath died. I love that song so much and it gives me the shivers every time I listen to it too.
I’m happy to share emzy with everyone, listening to his music makes me feel happy.
Great tunes Taylor blue and a new artist for me to introduce to my ipod!
How did you learn about him and has he replaced your loss over heath?
I just found him by accident a couple of days after Heath died. So I’ve known him for a long time. But, sadly no….I was just at McDonald’s yesterday when someone asked me who did my sleeve. And I said my tattoo artist also tattooed Heath the girl that asked me kept going on how it was an accident. I guess I’m not the only one that’s not over him.
Agreed - a great way to remember him though…
It is..
And emzy’s song for Heath is so beautiful. I know he would have been proud to hear it.
He has a great sound TB - very soulful. I’ve just been watching “I’m Not There” and its stunning even now to realise Heath is gone forever. Such a talent he had! So vibrant. Thanks for the tip on new music?
Something I wish I could do for someone? Similar, I wish I could somehow arrange for a good friend of mine to get a book deal. That would be fantastic!
Great sound and voice!
Something I wish I could do for someone? I wish I could somehow supply food for all the starving children of the world.
I am sure that will happen in our lifetime

he can do this with any song? I don’t buy that or a second. He may well have an ear for music but what you are claiming would make him the most talented musician to have ever lived. As to be able to play ANYTHING upon hearing it would mean he could play any insturment automatically. I am calling ‘bs’ on this right here.
‘he really cares about his fans’
of course he does- he makes money off them- they put food on his table. do you know ANY musicians whose ‘pitch’ is ‘my fans are idiots? nope I thought not.
his music is middle of the road average- thats why he hasn’t been signed at all. and in a world where even the tellytubbies can get a record deal that speaks volumes about his ‘talentl
I’m not saying he is the most amazing musician, he’s a friend and I think he’s great. SO isn’t that okay to talk about him like that?
no problem
write about whatever you feel it is a free country
why do you think he hasn’t been signed? objectively? is he just too samey? or does he lack social skills or marketing ability?
Interesting you mentioned Heath Ledger- a chum of mine has penned a song about his death . Its a haunting melody with a subtle message. Unfortunately it appears that unlike princess diana spencer the public has all but forgotten about heath and there is little interest in my chums tribute ’selfish dope fiend doesn’t love his daughter. shame as its got a catch rap in the middle
‘popping pills in the big NYC
ketamine temazepam and a load of e
should have manned up and thought about my child
but would rather pop pills and end up wild
died with a measly 50 g’s in the account
got taken from behind on brokeback mount
bit part player gambling like in poker
lets face it steve gutenberg would have been a better joker’
its catchy homies don’t cha think?
Yeah I have no comment for that…
