About this episode

Emmyn discusses his career journey, the challenges of success, and rediscovering his artistic roots.

In this episode of You Make The Scene , we sit down with Emmyn, better known as Games We Play, for a conversation that covers the highs, lows, and lessons learned throughout his career so far. We talk about what it was like signing to what many artists would consider a dream label, while also recognizing that success doesn't always arrive when you're fully prepared for it. Emmyn opens up about navigating those opportunities, learning from the experience, and figuring out who he wanted to be as an artist along the way. The conversation also dives into touring with some major names, the realities of life on the road, and how those experiences helped shape both his perspective and his music. One of the most interesting parts of the discussion centers around getting back to his roots and rediscovering the artist he wanted to be. Rather than chasing trends or expectations, Emmyn shares how he's focused on creating music that his 14-year-old self would be proud of, both sonically and lyrically. We also talk about the upcoming Summer School Tour, what fans can expect from the experience, and how Games We Play continues to evolve while staying true to the spirit that got him into music…
