Lowen on Making Music in the Jewish South
Premieres on Tuesday, June 6
|
Lowen (born Emily Kopp), is a producer, songwriter, and artist who grew up in south Florida as a Jewish daughter of a Colombian immigrant. In college, she opened for artists like Brandi Carlile, Marc Cohn, and Matchbox 20—while also also touring regionally and releasing music independently. She packed up the tour van to backpack around the world in 2016 with her now-wife, a trip that offered her a profound shift in perspective. She began creating music under the name Lowen (a nod to her mother’s maiden name and Jewish German ancestors), then made her debut with 2019’s Only In My Dreams EP and the hit single “Just F---ing Let Me Love You”. When Lowen isn’t writing and producing for commercial projects or for other artists, you can find her on tour, or home working on her own music in the Nashville based music studio she’s dubbed the “Zula." We spoke about her creative process, the ways in which Jewishness inflects her music, and the transition to life in Nashville. Join us on June 6 for this exciting episode!
