Welcome back to Seasoned Professional! Today, I’m honoured to introduce the incredibly talented Andrew Lockington—a Canadian film score composer whose journey proves that the most unexpected paths often lead to the most fulfilling destinations. His recent work includes collaborations with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan on Landman, Lioness, and The Mayor of Kingstown.

Growing up just outside Toronto, Andrew was known as "the music guy," constantly reimagining classics and putting his own creative spin on them. By the age of 15, his passion and talent landed him a spot in a professional band. Fuelled by dreams of becoming a rockstar, he spent his high school years performing every weekend, determined to make a name for himself.

But Andrew’s story is one of evolution. While the spotlight of a rockstar life wasn’t in the cards, his deep connection to music found a new home. He pivoted into the world of film, where his gift for composition has allowed him to tell stories in ways he never imagined.

It’s a privilege to share Andrew’s incredible journey—one filled with creativity, resilience, and a love for music that’s shaped every step along the way.

Welcome back to Seasoned Professional! We’re kicking off season 2 with the incredible Judah Armani—a designer, storyteller, and advocate for those living on the fringes of society. Growing up in West London, Judah often grappled with not being seen as fully British, a challenge that shaped his early years and the tactics he used to try and blend in.

Despite these feelings of being an outsider, Judah’s experiences ignited a deep connection to others who live on the margins. Through his visionary three-decade plan, he has championed innovative work with the homeless and in prisons. Most recently, he founded InHouse, a groundbreaking music production company that operates both inside and outside the prison system, creating opportunities and amplifying voices that often go unheard.

It’s an honour to share Judah’s remarkable journey and the inspiring impact of his work.
