I've known and worked with Justin for over two years now and he is a MUSICIAN. All caps. Full stop. An extremely talented multi-instrumentalist, a wizard with sound design and engineering, and also an incredible human being. But what sets Justin apart from so many is he's also a fantastic communicator. Musically, personally, and on the business side of things Justin is always upfront and crystal clear about what he's going to do, what he needs from you, and how he's going to proceed.

What can I say about Justin that hasn’t already been said?? I’ve been collaborating with him for years and he is by far the best producer/writer/mixer/musical genius I’ve ever worked with. He puts his all into everything he does and is super patient with any edits or crazy ideas. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Justin!

Justin’s sound mixing chops are world class. Every project I’ve worked on with him has been elevated by his sharp ears and impeccable creative instincts. He brings a level of professionalism and understands how to fine tune any project sonically. He is also an absolute joy to be around. Easy going and always brings good energy!

I've collaborated with Justin on several projects over the years. He's not only a talented guitarist and trumpet player, but also has a sharp ear for composition. On the business side, he runs a tight ship and brings a wealth of knowledge in sync licensing and artist development. I couldn't recommend a more capable and reliable partner for any creative project.
