Today we jump into the story of our guest, Brenden James.  Hey takes us on the journey of starting late with a career in music, racing to the top with not just one but multiple major label record deals and finishing those just to find he is at the starting line of what would become his most successful career in music and songwriting.

Quote:“All these labels were seeing this clay in me and this raw thing, but no one could refine it except for time, experience and touring.”
