I met, Justine, through multiplatinum engineer, mixer & producer, Ken Lewis, a few years back. We've been working ever since. Her vocals and writing chops are awesome and her turnaround time is never an issue. She's efficient & highly skilled at her craft. I'm humbled to know & to be able to work with her.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: ThisIsTorch is my favorite producer.

A: Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Jojo, Demi Lovato, the late Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, Pink, Joss Stone, Kelly Clarkson, Ella Eyre, Anne Marie, Halsey, Jess Reyez, Sza, Yebba, BlackPink, Jessi, Yoon Mirae...Too many to name...Amazing vocalists, girl groups, and rappers...
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Songwriting wise - melodies and hooks I would say are my strong skills and what come most naturally to me. Singing wise - attitude/sassy vocals and breathy singing.

A: Building out my sync company with my business partner as well as setting up other opportunities for others

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: Sassy / Fun is my personal go to, but I prefer to do whatever emotion the song actually calls for.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I try to provide support in whatever role I am needed. If writing, I listen to a track to try to catch a vibe and write to that emotion. If the client wants a certain message or musical elements, I really try to incorporate what the client is going for. Whether writing, vocal producing or cutting demos, it is about working with the client while still being creative.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: Proud of having worked on 'Good Boy' because it was my first placement and it was #1 on all Korean download sites as soon as it came out and it hit #4 on the kpop Billboard charts that week. I worked on the song idea initially with my friend AJ in his basement studio and it was very cool to see it come to life and impact people on the other side of the planet. Seriously amazing xD
