You have read the story of a mentoring genius and how a major music superstar made it to the top and stayed there! But this story goes far beyond the obvious: This story manifests with a much higher purpose and enduring message.
This is a story of God-given talent and how that talent was stewarded, given away freely, and how it affected millions of lives through the power of the gift! This is a story of patience, devotion, and authentic humility. This is James Gardiner’s moment to take the spotlight and rise to the tower of recognition that’s been waiting for him all of his life. James has always known that music comes from a divine source. The gift of music, if cultivated, nurtured, and honored, will always find its destination. In the case of James Gardiner, the gifting found its home in Kenny G.
To fully understand the process, you have to hear it explained from the recipient of the gifting: You need to hear it in the words of Kenny G. The mentor created the master and now it’s the mentor’s special time to shine. Written in Kenny G’s own words, we pay tribute to this extraordinary musical legend; James Gardiner.
To put things into perspective, let’s take look at Kenneth Gorlick in school with James, and the creative phenomenon of the Kenny G of today:
A picture speaks a thousand words, and these pictures show the manifestation of the making of a star! There would be no Kenny G without James Gardiner’s brilliant guidance, teaching, and mentoring. This had to be God’s plan all along. However, both men just had to follow the steps to get to the miracle.
In Kenny’s own words: “I went to school in Seattle. James Gardiner was in Seattle at this point, so I can guarantee you, I would not be here if it wasn’t for him, guarantee you a 100%.”
“We were so good because our charts were good. James Gardiner was such an inspiration for us. He’s the one who taught, that pretty much showed me who to listen to on the sax, that really… If it wasn’t for him, I’m telling you, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Robert Damper wouldn’t be playing tonight either.”
James stand up and wave to everybody and take responsibility for what you’ve done!”
THAT image has a distinct message, that image tells the story in real-time.
That picture shows a man who recognized an opportunity and was smart enough to follow his great mentor, lay down his ego, and make a conscious choice to follow greatness. James learned from the best, became the best, and consequently, created the best!
Hollywood International People is honored to present a story that will speak to every musician and filmmaker in the industry. If you receive James Gardiner’s message you will receive the tools to make it in this business.
We always hear “Follow Your Dreams.”
Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that James was far too busy to dream! James was led on a path from above, from the very first second his life began. James was just able to identify the gift and embrace the journey to the destination – which just happens to be manifesting right now!
James never lusted after fame, his desire was the music, the creation, and to make sure the “creation” was perpetuated.
Bonia Shur taught him the most important lesson of all: Humility. In the crazy business referred to as the “music” business, the necessity of a solid mentor is everlasting. Teaching humility is teaching personal power, character, and endurance.
In a world riddled with mediocrity, the road to excellence lies directly in front of our face: Wisdom is found through the power of humility.
If you embrace wisdom, discernment comes right behind it. Our human success depends on these two basic principles of an enlightened mind.
God bless you James Gardiner as you begin this next chapter of an integrous life.
You have a lot to be proud of but knowing you, you will be satisfied with saying; Thank you God – thank you for the blessing you have bestowed on my life.
Thank you. I am most grateful to be your servant.
