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 He's your guy.

I have 5 years of performing live in front of crowds ranging from 20-3k. Small local venues and night clubs to the Middle Waves festivals (two times) and I opened up for Ludacris. On stage I like blending high energy for entertainment along with props to spice up the show. One time I even came out in an astronaut costume to fit the theme for my “Outta Here” project at the time. I also have experience performing with a live band.

I am willing to make any adjustments needed to fulfill clients needs as long as it doesn’t conflict with my morals. I specialize in lyrical content, crowd engagement and versatility. Most importantly I’m teachable to improve any area I can be better in.

Thank you for considering me as an act and I look forward to working with your company.

Why The DJ vs The Violinist Stands Out:
	•	Unique Concept: A head-to-head battle of genres that bridges the gap between sultry seductive strings and electrifying beats.
	•	Audience Engagement: Every show is a collaborative experience with the crowd—seamlessly blending live requests, custom remixes, and jaw-dropping solos.
	•	Proven Appeal: From high-profile weddings to corporate events and festivals, we're building a reputation for elevating the energy and delivering wow moments that clients rave about.
	•	Professionalism: An active fan base, and a commitment to excellence, we’re ready to represent your agency with pride.
