About Me


"Every now and then, you sit in on an act that makes you think to yourself, "This kid's going somewhere." (Full Article Here )
Alex Paterno, The Mast - Pacific Lutheran University
“Here’s a young man whose voice and guitar play will knock your socks off.”
Geoff Dellinger, Entertainment World
"Acoustic guitar and heart-on-sleeve lyrics will make you wish you'd never stopped keeping that personal journal."
D. Parvaz, Seattle P.I.
“With his classical guitar background and simple and personal lyrics, Klump pens nice pop numbers that are catchy and deep. Klump's sound is familiar but at the same time, it's got a noticable distinction from the rest of the stuff you usually hear in the pop world.”
Matt Perez, Music Emissions
“Klump looks into people’s hearts and souls, and he manages to put some of the most conflicting feelings into words.”
Jennifer Layton, IndieMusic.com
“Six years is all that it’s taken for solo artist Justin Klump to master the acoustic guitar.”
Erin Thomas, The Daily Evergreen
"23 year-old singer-songwriter Justin Klump made some very wise investment choices as a very young man...obviously earning some artistic capital in the process. Like John Mayer, Hootie & the Blowfish and Dashboard Confessional, there's an intellectual maturity to his brand of radio-ready pop."
Alan Fark, Minor 7th Acoustic Guitar Magazine
