James’s Bio:
James Gardin is a musician who's been around the block...a few times. With a 20-year career under his belt, this Lansing, Michigan native has seen it all - from playing to empty bars to performing with big-name artists like Bryce Vine, Jack Harlow, KING, MURS, Macklemore, and Quinn XCII. Gardin's music has been featured on TV shows and films like ESPN's " First Take , CW's "All American," ,"Queen Sugar," Bloom, and "Block Party," proving that he's not just a one-hit wonder. And if that's not impressive enough, he's also had his tunes played on Hot97 - you know, the radio station that's heard by more people than a screaming toddler in a quiet restaurant. But what really sets James Gardin apart is his niche. He creates empowering, encouraging music for TV, film, and fans alike, all while using faith as a sonic/lyrical foundation. If you're looking for a musician who's got talent, heart, and a sense of humor (because let's face it, he's got to have one to have lasted this long in the industry), then look no further than James Gardin.

When people talk about networking they tend to talk about it in a very surface transactional way (ie: i gave them the song they needed and got a huge payday).
I believe that the most amazing things happen when we are in tune with the systems that need to take place for us to elevate, so in this solocast I break down what steps I take to create a great network of people who actually want me to achieve what ever it is I want.
With placements like League of legends, google, call of duty, battle field, riot games (and many more) Hermann is not a stranger to success. In this conversation We dive deep into some real talk about music—like navigating the ego, knowing your worth, collaborating with others and more. Herman's journey working with 2wei and starting to do his own thing with custom music gigs. We also get into staying curious, bouncing back from rejection, and figuring out the unknowns. Hermann keeps it real about why sticking to a brief can be a challenge in custom projects and why consistency is key to hitting those big goals in the music biz. This one was a lot of fun to record
