About Justin
I’m a life-long Indiana native, but I have also lived in California and Tennessee. I would best describe myself as a steward of traditional marketing mixed with a strong technology background and I've been a professional musician for over 20 years.
While working on my degree in Music Composition and Technology from Ball State University, I received an offer for an internship at Ignition Marketing in Los Angeles. I worked exclusively for Maverick Records (Madonna’s label) and did promotional work for Alanis Morissette, and The Deftones among others.
During this time , I was asked to join Musician Magazine's best unsigned band winner- 'The Shade' and soon we were working on a deal through Arista with the legendary Glen Ballard on deck.
After college, I started my own audio production studio, Prime Time, and worked with several national agencies. We provided everything from voice-overs, guitar playing to music score writing for PBS, Showtime, A&E and the Fox Network.
Since then I've had the opportunity to play around 3,000 gigs all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Rock, Country, Jazz, Broadway- I love it all! I've also played on dozens of albums, commercials, jingles and documentaries for several national agencies. My clients include: CNN, Fox Sports, A&E, PBS and Showtime.
I've also produced, performed and recorded with artists on Rounder, Curb, Arista and Universal records. Recently, I‘ve worked with several people from American Idol, as both a studio and live guitar player.
In 2014, I spent a large chunk doing session and demo work in Nashville, TN. I also spent a few months on the road with multi-platinum Country act Lonestar, I also started working with Ball State University in the Music Media Production program both as a student and advisor.
I’m also a Product Specialist and/ or Endorsee of: Suhr Guitars, 3rd Power Amplification, Two Notes Engineering, Wampler Effects Pedals, Jim Dunlop Manufacturing and Peavey Electronics. I still teach music and work on music product development as well!
