Justin’s journey with music began when the youngster was in the womb. According to LJ’s website, “He would tap rhythmically when his mom would tap her fingers on her belly and move when she sang to him. Once born, LJ was enveloped by music.”

LJ’s parents were sure to encourage his interest in music. As the youngster’s website explains, “By 13 months, he was keeping time to songs, banging his spoons at each meal. And by 15 months, he was able to identify and mimic unique syncopations and tinker on the piano in the correct key as a song was played. He got his drum set at 18 months and hasn’t looked back.”
