SUMMARY:Emma Zinck\, Matt Wynn and Allie Colleen
DESCRIPTION:Emma Zinck \nEmma Zinck is her own brand of powerhouse “Electric Country” and one to watch on the Nashville music scene today! Armed with her guitar\, vocals\, and dynamic presence\, she captivated fans from any stage she’s on. The Fredericksburg Virginia native brought her passion of music to Tennessee 6 years ago. Writing with several hitmakers and honing her own artistry simultaneously\, she caught the attention of number 1 hit songwriter Bridgette Tatum (“She’s Country” by Jason Aldean) who signed Zinck to her first publishing deal (SoNash) and production deal (Tatum Town). Emma is an artist with no limitations\, from her one of a kind original live performances to her viral videos\, and she continues to bring fresh creative ideas into Country music. In 2023 she had several videos showcasing her 4 octave range vocal stacks including “Talking to the Moon” by Bruno Mars reaching over 7 million views and gaining a staggering 100k + new followers. Zinck is currently coproducing a project. \nAllie Colleen Brooks \nAllie Colleen is a Country Artist\, singer and songwriter who recently released her well-received debut album\, STONES. Her music style defines how life shaped her\, alongside the personal lyrics and transparency in her vocals and performance. Allie Colleen is no stranger to the music industry and has a passion for singing and songwriting since a young age has garnered her a reputation of being a notable songwriter with an iconic-sounding voice. Her impeccably strong voice with hints of timeless tradition falls between classic and emerging country sounds. The room never fails to silence as Allie Colleen begins to sing about the layers of love and heartbreak that have shaped her. Unlike most today\, some of her newest songs bring well-thought-out lyrics and a special connection to the song. With more than 351K followers on Instagram\, Facebook\, Twitter and TikTok combined\, she is one of the most powerful and popular female independent label acts on a trajectory to stardom. \nMatt Wynn \nA seasoned performer\, Matt has played all over the country and abroad opening for artists like Luke Combs\, Maren Morris\, Brother Osborne\, Brett Young\, Sam Hunt\, Brantley Gilbert\, Vince Gill\, Chris Janson\, Russell Dickerson\, Scotty McCreery\, Tyler Farr\, Phil Vassar\, Trace Adkins\, Gretchen Wilson\, Jay Leno and more. \n“Performing live is the entertainer’s rush\,” Matt admits. “I love recording\, I love being in the studio\, I love bringing that song to life. But there’s nothing like going out and playing live for people and feeling a crowd. An artist’s job is to portray emotion\, whether it’s through a guitar solo like Keith Urban\, Eric Clapton or John Mayer\, or through the way someone sings with a uniqueness like a Reba\, Willie Nelson or Bob Dylan\, or just being an unbelievable emotional singer like Chris Stapleton. I’m not made just to write\, or just to sing\, I’m made to do both. I’m one of those guys I don’t feel fully complete without one or the other. Playing live makes me feel like this is what I do\, and this is what I offer the world. This is what my job is. This is my purpose.” \nOn October 6th Reba McEntire released the companion CD\, Not That Fancy to her new book of the same title. Matt is proud to have the one new song\, “Seven Minutes In Heaven” on the 14-track compilation. “When you hear one of your heroes\, who happens to be an icon\, sing the words you wrote back to you\, it is truly a spiritual experience. That song was made for Reba. No one could have told the story the way she did. She is a master at delivering a song. She is a songwriter’s dream.”
