We are a group of passionate musicians who love to perform and share our craft with others. We started this podcast to connect with our community, share our performing experiences, and talk to other industry pros who share their path to full-time gigging!
Meet the Hosts
We are three best friends and members of a 7-piece cover band on a journey to explore Orlando's entertainment hub. Join us as we share our experiences and talk to industry pros about their journeys to FULL-TIME performing work. Our podcast is a great space to learn how you can carve your own performing path.

Meet us!
Gustavo Rodriguez
Gustavo Rodriguez was born in Venezuela and came to the States when he was a year old where he would grow up in Orlando and be involved in choir and musical theatre throughout middle school and high school. Gus has performed in theme parks since 2016 and has also played bass in many different bands and groups throughout the Central Florida band scene. Gus has also performed on some big stages, such as playing bass for the halftime show of the 2018 Pro Bowl with Jordan Fisher. He is now the co-owner/musical director for L&G LIVE and Live Effect Party Band. He is very excited to share the Central Florida performer’s experience on My Full-Time Gig!
Cristina Hernandez
Cristina is a singer/voice actor who's performed professionally in Orlando since 2017. From acapella groups such as Sing It at Universal Studios, to full-time vocalist at the Disney Junior Dance Party in Disney's Hollywood Studios, and now one of three front-women for Live Effect Party Band, she enjoys live performance the most. Growing up in Eugene, Oregon, she studied musical theatre, Shakespeare, and Film Production throughout her school years. She moved to Orlando in 2016 as a Disney College Program Intern to get her foot in the door with Disney. She auditioned for shows while working as an hourly cast member at the theme parks. Finally, she enjoys working out of her home studio as a voice actress to round out her full-time gigs.
James Woods
James Woods was born in a western Pennsylvania household where music was a part of life. Whether playing church music, top 40’s hits, or modern-day music, there was always some form of entertainment happening at the house. In 2009 James moved to Florida to pursue a degree in audio as a form of education, which would help him land a position at Universal Studios Resort in 2014. This helped him network with different groups of people landing him where he is today. While pursuing his career and passions down in Florida, he also plays at a church called Calvary Orlando which has helped shape and mold James into the musician he is today. Being a part of My Full-Time Gig podcast will give him the chance to be able to share his journey along the way as well as share other people’s journeys too.
