She’s a “never-say-never,” no-quitter with the natural-born ability to shine in the limelight.

STANDING AT A MERE 4’11", EMILY MINOR IS LIKE A SURPRISE AT THE BOTTOM OF A CRACKER JACK BOX. DUBBED “A MODERN DAY BRENDA LEE,” SHE’S A “LITTLE MISS DYNAMITE.” RAISED IN NORTH CAROLINA, EMILY IS AN ACTION-ORIENTED, GO-GETTER WITH INTENTIONAL DIRECTION AND ABSOLUTELY NO CEILING. 

EMILY MINOR’S DELIVERY IS STRAIGHT UP AND HONEST… WITH NO SUGAR COATING ADDED. THE SONGSTRESS IS AN ENERGETIC SUNBURST FULL OF BIG SURPRISES POISED TO MAKE AN EVERLASTING IMPRESSION. HER STAY IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY IS A WELL-INTENDED, LONG-TERM PLAN.

I was given her Greatest Hits album in 1994 and that voice forever shaped my own. She's played such a huge part in my own musical journey. I competed and won a contest in high school by singing "Natural Woman". I performed "Until You Come Back To Me" in Hollywood while I was a part of the show, American Idol and that song carried me on to another day on the show. When I got married, everyone begged me to get up and sing with the band at the reception. So, I said that if I was going to do it, I was going to do it my way and sing what I want. As I imagined Aretha would have. I dedicated the song to my new husband and told him that as long as he understood what I was demanding, we'd be just fine. That song was "Respect". She made me feel soulful when I'd sing "Chain Of Fools" and she reminded me of my worth with "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." She taught me how to growl on a lyric at the appropriate time and she's the reason that I'm partial to singing on a Beta 58 microphone. She's one of my heroes and there will never be another like her. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN. #arethafranklin #aretha #thequeen
THIS WEEK! ✨
I had a lot of candles on my cake this year, but I was thankful for every single one of them. Can't wait to see what unfolds this year, thanks for all of the love today! 🎂
Smiling that real big smile 'cause he said we're getting Chickfila for dinner... 😁
We fight. With each other and for each other. We tease and torment the younger ones and they terrorize us big ones right back. We laugh really, really hard until we cry and we cry about how life isn't going as planned over a late night game of cards at the kitchen table. There are no secrets. We promise we won't tell anyone but someone else always knows. We swear we won't raise our kids that way and then we learn a thing or two from the seasoned Vets about how to bring up a child in this world the right way. We sing with each other. We dance silly late into the night past the point of delirium. We argue over who is the favorite, who is the loudest, and who can put the most food in their mouth at one time. We drive each other crazy, but we'd drive anywhere to get to one another. 💛
I'm a songwriter who spends countless hours in a room trying to put into words what we as humans are feeling or have felt at some point in our lives. I'm also an artist who loves to stand on stage with a mic in my hand and sing the lyrics and melodies that other songwriters have worked tirelessly to create and perfect. I support the #MusicModernizationAct, @blackstone & @sesac please withdraw your amendment to the #MMA... this dream and career is hard enough as it is... don't make it any harder on us all.
