Sounds Like: Musician, Songwriter, Producer and Entrepreneur, Emery is one of the most gifted and influential figures to emerge onto the gospel music scene today. As a writer and musician he has accompanied such artists as Stevie Wonder, Vickie Winans, Byron Cage, Pro. James Hall, Desmond Pringle, Lucinda Moore, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Rod Parsley and many more. Emery's extraordinary career matches his incredible life: a mosaic of statuesque accomplishments and enigmatic rue. His career began in his father's church in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It was there that the local congregation saw the beginning of a life long journey. His career has taken him from docile beginnings to humbling successes. Emery has worked with the Albuquerque Film Festival and has had the fortuity of composing the score to 'Talk Me To Death' a film short by Duke City Shootout. Emery was also an accompanist at the Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XXXXI Ring Ceremony. He was also privileged to be a band member, and preproduction editor for the Indiana Pacers Starting Lineup commercial. As a producer, Emery has worked with recording artists Rosalind Sanders-Jones, Sonya Barry, Charissa L. Varrie, Gwen Norwood, Cornell Burton, Dee Brown and others. Emery has his expertise to lean on, a 'God-Given' vision to guide him and favor under his feet. His leadership capabilities have opened countless doors for his career. And as founder and President of Varrie Good Musiq Production Co., he will now reciprocate those opportunities to his community. It has been noted that his musical skills are that of the almost forgotten hymnist, yet has the modest attitude of a beginner. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: future Dove, Stellar, and Grammy awards winner,
Emery M. Varrie II
