About Me

Justin, started off by picking up the guitar around 1991. He always thought of himself as just a guitar player and someone that is there to help carry the song. Justin never found a home in a permanent band playing lead guitar. After many tries at trying to find the right people to play with he finally just started writing songs and playing all the instruments himself. Then relocating to Northern Nevada area and started playing various open mics. While in Reno, Nv Justin entered local H studios to record his first official Solo release. Soon after recording Justin relocated to Las Vegas . Since 2007 Justin plays in various spots in the Vegas Valley area perfecting his songwriting craft and helping out and writing and playing with other local musicians.
