    Artist History
    Justin grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and played for a few local bands. By far his most succesful project there, Critical Mass rose to be one of the few South African bands to achieve local success and spark international interest. Favourite Thing (off their album Blueprint and written by Justin) entered the charts on South Africa's primary rock station, and stayed there for several weeks reaching number 13. Quite an achievement for a local band. Two other singles written by Justin also did well on that, and other radio stations round the country. Gigs were always well received with Justin actively engaging with the crowd. An energetic and charismatic frontman, Justin enjoyed the rush of live performance and always made sure that everyone felt connected with. Eventually though the band came to an end due to the small South African market. This soon prompted a move by Justin to get to Canada, which he did shortly after recording a 3-track solo demo called Different Skies. Now based near Vancouver, Justin aims to rise to the challenge of establishing a rock solid reputation in the Canadian music scene. Watch out Canada.
