BIOGRAPHY
Based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Justin has been making a name for himself
in the "jewel of the South" for over 13 years. Witness to several
southern musical milestones including the Black Crowes, The Indigo Girls
and John Mayer, Justin has honed his songwriting and performance skills
to a fine point, and is ready for a chance to shine.
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Justin is an alumnus of the School for Creative and Performing Arts. While attending SCPA, Justin studied art, creative writing, drama, music theory, instrumental and vocal performance. School days often stretched out to nine or ten hours, as he was required to attend both private instruction in vocal performance before school, as well as performance ensemble rehearsal after school.
Today, Justin is working on his debut solo CD, slated for release in the Summer/Fall of 2004. A perfectionist, Justin has taken the time to assemble quality songs for his first solo release. As he puts it, "I just want every song to be able to stand on its own, and be a potential hit, and make its own impression."
This August, Justin goes back into the studio to begin work on his second CD. "I wanted to put out the first CD and then give people another set of fresh songs soon after that. So just when people are getting used to the songs on the first CD, I'll deliver new ones. I really hope everyone enjoys the music."
Justin has assembled an amazing live band to perform his stunningly catchy pop songs. On guitar is one of Atlanta's best, Jason Salzman. Both innovative and solid at the same time, Jason is the perfect combination of guitar purist and experimental mad man. Jason has been playing with Justin for just over two years now....and don't be afraid to call him "J-Station".
Currently on the drums is Kent Aberle. New to Justin's band, Kent started playing with the band in the summer of 2003. Kent brings a no- nonsense approach to the drums. He hits them with authority and power. These two amazing players anchor Justin's strong tenor vocals and low aggressive bass playing.
Justin recently added an amazing keyboard player to his line up. Rounding
out the sound of the entire band is Brandon Still.
"Brandon really makes the group sound like I always hoped we would
sound. I love having Brandon in the band."
