CJ Arnell is known to many of us Utah locals as the guy who brought Kanye West to the gateway. Aside from his extended, premiere network, the man works around the clock to pursue his place as a musician and a mentor to the industries his brands are established in. I First got to meet CJ through colleagues of mine and we started talking through Instagram. It wasn't until a few months later did we actually get to meet in person. He has got to be one of the most influential artists in the community I work in due to his steadfast involvement with his community through social media and directly at his studio and through his other ventures. I'm grateful to have him both as a mentor and a friend.
