Today we’d like to introduce you to James Givens Jr..
Hi James, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Starting off at the Boys & Girls Club in East Palo Alto,Ca at 13 Ima Artist from the Bay Area up & coming i balance work & my passion – what made me get into music was lil Bow wow which goes by shad moss now & Ludacris at the time I was growing up but I always had influenced from the bay/West Cost really 2pac the Mac Dre , E-40 , Too-short, The Jacka & Hustlah , Keak da sneak, Mistah Fab, RLB Posse, Big Rich, San Quinn, Dem HoodStarz, Sean-T, Buff & Law, Traxxamillon, NWA, Ice Cube, Easy-E, Snoop Dogg, The List is Long
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it hasn’t due to u having to pay for everything u do vs people that believes in you doing it cause they love what u do – I learned u must go threw that to see who u dealing with in order to grow to see opportunities, its a long road of struggles especially without anyone having the correct handbook to handle the situations to make it smooth
