If you are at all involved in the music scene in Lansing, MI, you’re familiar with the brand and talent that is James Gardin.
Having helped establish our model of “Active artists serving as mentors” and “Being the change you want to see”, James lives it!
It’s not only that he is always growing and ever expanding artistically but that he shares his findings with the youth he engages through All of the Above HipHop Academy.
He’s the quintessential example of how to mentor youth in hip-hop music; positive, focused and poised, but to battle him on the [microphone] could be a humbling misstep. |THIS
