Music has always been a passion for North Philadelphia bred singer, songwriter, and musician, Jus. His musical training began at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. It was here that he honed his skills on the guitar. Having a grandmother who tours as an opera singer, uncles who were working jazz musicians, helped to foster his early love for classical, jazz and soul music.

Jus came to Los Angeles in after earning his Bachelors of Arts from Temple University in Speech Communication. He hit the ground running, performing at open mic nights at the school and around the city. As word spread, Justin was introduced to Vikter Diplaix who introduced him to the Axis Music Group-- consisting of Chauncey Childs, Vikter Duplaix, and James Poyser. Forever True, the track produced by Vikter Duplaix aired on the radio for the first time on a show called Inner City on Power 99FM in Philadelphia.

Jus has performed with Bliss Life (Amel and husband Laru Larrieuxs Entertainment Company) at their venue Bliss Live at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica! His performances venues include Auras, Cabrinis Jazz Alley, The Temple Bar and B.B. Kings Universal City Walk. He has also been featured in such online publications as, MIMI Magazine, Gangstyle Magazine, and was the Fresh Pick of the Month in SaveOurSoul.

Jus is often described as the modern day Bill Withers because of the accessibility of his subject matter. The profound honesty and sensitivity found in his timeless music is what draws listeners to him. His understated, rootsy style plays as a perfect contrast to what popular music produces today. People find his music insightful drawing comparisons to John Legend, and Musiq remarking that what makes Jus special is his ability to say what so many people feel in a song. Combining soulful warmth, a genuine and folksy feel with his smooth melodic voice, Jus sings his way into the hearts of everyone who is lucky enough to listen.
