Justin-Lee
“My heart’s desire is to spread peace, love, positivity, and unity through my music and to be an inspiration to my generation,” declares 18-year-old vocal and multi-instrumental prodigy Justin-Lee.
It is no wonder that the South African born, LA based musician had prompted Quincy Jones to rave “This kid is something special” and Robert Glasper to exclaim “Justin is an older man in a boy’s body!! It’s so great to see somebody so young have such a vast love of ALL kinds of music!! He sounds amazing.” Jojo shared “I’ve decided I am the Tony Bennett to your Lady Gaga,” and Jimmy Jam says, “When the divine art has angels like this, music is alive and well.”
Justin started playing piano at the age of 5 and received an endorsement from Yamaha South Africa that same year. His first stage performance was with his dad, just two weeks after he started playing piano. At the age of 13, he started playing guitar as well as adding vocalist to his many talents.
Music
His album Just In The Moment was released September 1, 2023, and reached the top 20, and debuted on Apple Jazz at #1. He is currently working on an RNB/POP record slated to be released late 2025.
Justin plays all genres of music from R&B, POP, Jazz, Blues to Fusion and Gospel.
Justin is surrounded by his musical mentors on and off the stage with professional and personal friendships with Stevie Wonder, T-Pain, H.E.R. and Jojo, to name just a few. He is making millions of impressions each day —at such a young age, he is already taking the world by storm!
