Before Emily West was married to Matthew West, she was building her own career on Music Row — working in artist development and publicity at record labels in Nashville. In this episode of Married to the Music, Emily shares the story of meeting Matthew through work, how their whirlwind relationship unfolded, and what it’s been like navigating marriage, motherhood, faith, and life in music ever since.

She opens up about raising two daughters while Matthew toured, the realities of supporting an artist behind the scenes, the importance of trust when your spouse is on the road, and why creating a home he always wants to come back to became such a meaningful part of their partnership. Emily also talks about style, meal prep, social media, and the little everyday routines that keep their family grounded.

It’s a conversation about love, timing, partnership, and the life happening behind the spotlight.
