Nora Germain is a Los Angeles based jazz artist and composer who has attended James' creative retreats as well as having studied online courses from Music Business Institute. Nora says:
"James is a great inspirational force both in person and on the internet. His knowledge about the many facets of a performing artist's career, the music business and and creative enterprise as a whole is seemingly boundless. In his videos, lectures and interviews I often find myself beginning with listening passively and immediately needing to take notes or hitting the replay button. Not many people know this many secrets and are willing to share them. Thank you for providing us with a continually fresh perspective and many helpful tips for successful implementation of your ideas. You've helped me a lot, and it'd be hard to overrate the consistent quality and relevance of your guidance."
