Sometimes things just line up perfectly, don’t they?

Last week, I came across Christopher Lautemann on LinkedIn. According to his profile, he makes “Brand Story Songs.” Cool, right?

Based on the description alone, I knew I had to reach out.

I sent a connection request, and he accepted it shortly thereafter.

Once we had connected, I told him why I had reached out. It was because the closest I—also a musician—have come to connecting my two “work” worlds (music and my business) has been using one of my band’s songs in my podcast intro.

He got back, asking what I played (as you do). And I told him guitar, vocals, and bass.

Then he hit me with a totally unexpected question: “Do you want to join my LinkedIn band?”

Turns out, he’s putting together a band to make a song for another LinkedIn creator…I don’t know; it’s a whole thing. And it’s entirely delightful.

Here’s how he describes the project.

Long story short(ish), I spent my morning laying down bass and vocal tracks for a collaborative LinkedIn song with a group of people I have never met.

And all because something piqued my interest, and I chose to explore it.

Très fun,
James
