About Me

Justin Figueroa has crafted an unforgettable sound that marries Motown like hooks with Jazz influenced acoustic guitar. He effortlessly taps the spirit of Nina Simone and Marvin Gaye and tops it off with a soaring falsetto that hasn’t been heard since the glory days of Prince. He is unaccompanied onstage: one voice, one guitar.
