From time to time we are fortunate enough to come into contact with those people who ooze creativity and authenticity. Emmett Spooner II exemplifies this rare combination. As a full circle creative - singer, songwriter, designer and style enthusiast - we wanted to know what makes Emmett tick, and to know how does one person have so much to go around. We were able to meet for coffee and go into detail about inspiration, health, and of course GUMBO. As expected, the Louisiana native walked in wearing his confidence, style and that southern charm on his wide brim hat for us all to admire.

When did you know you wanted to make music for a living?

As a child, my life was surrounded by gospel choirs and musicians. My family was always in church and involved with ministry. I have a twin sister and 2 brothers and we are all singers. I started singing in church at the age of 3 years old. I was surrounded everyday by music. It was just something that was passed down. I knew I would always be doing it, I just didn’t know to what extent.

How has your childhood/upbringing shaped you as an artist?

My childhood had a big influence on the messaging of my music. Spirituality played a huge part in my upbringing. It taught me how to look outside of the natural world and to see beyond myself. My music speaks a lot about love and dreaming, which my parents always encouraged me to dream. I used to call it, inspirational music.

What do you think has or had the most impact on your music?

The south definitely has a big impact. People think the south is just one thing, one sound. But its really not, it’s a melting pot.. Kind of like Gumbo, you can taste the different spices and flavors. I would also say traveling has a significant impact. Wherever I'm at, I'm pulling from different inspirations.

You have clearly shown the world that you are a full circle creative. Between your music, jewelry and clothing collabs, what and who inspires you?

I use people all the time as inspiration to write music. They inspire me to write stories about what's happening in their lives. Love and creativity inspires me daily, to dream and inspire others to dream.

How do you stay true to yourself and your vision?

I always desired to be original and authentic. I've stuck with that plan, even when others around me were doing conventional things. I always stay true to what makes my heart beat. I've also always had a deep passion for style. It empowers me to do my best, be my best and certain garments, colors and pieces, affects the way I function. It's truly one of my languages and favorite things to do, in this world.

What does focusing on health do for your career?

Im not a health expert but, when I make it a priority, it gives me positive energy and stamina to perform for long hours. Im working on this master piece right now. I’m really in the lab. In and out of the lab and your body & vocal cords are muscles, so i have to keep building it up. Being health conscience challenges and helps me feel better about myself.. It also gives me confidence to keep pushing forward on a daily basis.

About Torii Music Sessions At Torii we realized that sometimes its easy to feel like we are in a little health & wellness bubble. We communicate and share with so many others in our field---.Yet so many other communities would benefit from this knowledge! Our intention with this event is to share this wisdom with members in other industries such as music, in particular with artists. Living in the vibrant creative environment that is L.A., we realized that the artistic community is in need of some easy and efficient health solutions to support their crazy- busy, demanding lives. Most of the "quick-fix" solutions offered to them today such as RedBull, coffee or 5 hour-energy are actually not very helpful in the long run. They can deplete endurance, rather than sustain creativity and mind-body performance. At Torii we offer easy and potent health solutions to help us ascend into our better selves. And because we LOVE music, we will be introducing a new band to perform every other month at Soho House, and will then conduct a brief, 15 min interview with the band members to better understand their creative process and health routines used before their shows.
