Justin was born in the Pacific Northwest and raised on Copeland, Brahms, and Pink Floyd. His love for music is deeply rooted in the long-held traditions of his family, whose piano benches were more crowded than their couches, and passed around guitars like offering plates. Once that guitar was passed to Justin, he never put it down. The music led him to songwriting, performing, producing, and ultimately to Nashville, TN in 2012.

From 2006 to 2016, Justin toured the country playing small theaters and clubs, including Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR and Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA, while releasing multiple albums under his own name. In 2012, his album Sticks and Stones debuted Top 10 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart. Justin’s songs were in rotation on Sirius XM’s The Coffee House, NBC Sports, BBC One, and featured by Rolling Stone Country, American Songwriter, and Parade Magazine, to name a few.

Today, you can find Justin in the studio writing, producing, and making music with a variety of artists and writers from the US and the UK. Those years spent chasing success on his own terms gave him a great sense of how to tap into the needs of an artist. When working on a lyric in a songwriting session, or in the studio recording, he doesn’t stop working until the feeling is right. He has an innate ability to know what a record needs in order to highlight the emotion behind the song, and to pull the best out of everyone in the room. Justin naturally creates a space for the artist to feel at home, allowing creativity to flourish.

Whether he is producing records, writing songs, performing on stage, or composing music for documentaries, podcasts, or TV shows, Justin is passionate about helping others tell their stories through music. With more than 15 years of experience and a relentless work ethic, Justin is a true “100 Percenter.” As a songwriter and producer, and one hell of a musician and engineer, Justin can take any idea and turn it into a well-crafted and polished record that you’ll want to turn loud and play again and again.
