His father passed away when he was two years old; his mother then raised Emerson and his two brothers by herself until he was 12.
Music was always a part of his household, Emerson recalled. His mother was a talented pianist and a grand piano was in the house, available for anyone who wanted to use it.
A love of music carried over to Emerson’s time in school as well.
He sang with the choir in elementary school and began playing guitar. When he started junior high, the options for music classes were band and girls’ glee, so he played guitar in the band.
