Starting out as an underdog in the music industry with zero connections, Garrain Jones used MySpace to message producers. A chance meeting with Ludacris led to a recording contract, and opportunities to produce for stars like Chris Brown and 2 Chainz.
The business deals Garrain made excluded him from the financial rewards of much of his work. Before long he was $200K in debt with nowhere to turn. Burnt out and discouraged, he quit the music industry and became homeless and attempted suicide as his life spiraled out of control.
After committing to a massive overhaul of his lifestyle, Garrain spent four years building himself back up, defying the odds of failure that were against him.
Now a successful millionaire, he speaks and writes on how to undergo transformational life changes, and is an inspiration to those who feel like they have no options left. He was featured on Impact Theory hosted by Quest Nutrition co-founder Tom Bilyeu, a show that explores the mindsets of the world’s highest achievers to learn their secrets to success, featuring past guests like Michael Strahan and Wyclef Jean.
