About Me

CHECK ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! Playing weekly@: The Merchant's Cafe (google "Merchant's), Pioneer Square, Seattle Tues nights @9pm//////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Mr. Spots Chai House (www.chaihouse.com), Ballard, Seattle Thur nights @8pm/////////////////////////////////////////////////My name is Justin and I am a musician in the genre of singer/songwriter. I have been writing lyrics and songs since I started playing guitar at age 15 and a half. I first learned how to play guitar from my close friend Josh. I spent a lot of time playing in church and on a youth group worship team. Throughout the years I have written songs based on life situations and experiences that I have observed or gone through personally. This last January I finally got to do a full show at the fellowship hall at my church. My friends Caleb, Levi, Matthew and Christian supported me. It was a great experience, full of band songs and simple acoustic renderings. Later on in that month I got the chance to record a 3-song demo at Whiskey Ridge Studios just down the road from my house. I hope that you enjoy my songs and that you are inspired by my ideas. Take care and God bless./Favorite Actor--Johnny Depp/Most Inspiritational Person--Johnny Cash/Currently enjoying--Brandi Carlile, MuteMath, and Vedera
