Justin Nozuka
The maturity of Justin Nozuka's music, a soulful blend of R&B and pensive singer/songwriter folk that recalls both Nick Drake and Lauryn Hill, belies his tender years: Nozuka was only 18 when his debut album was released. The son of a Japanese father and American mother (actress Holly Sedgwick, who coincidentally happens to be Kyra Sedgwick's sister), Nozuka was born in New York City in 1988, the sixth of seven children. Nozuka's older brothers were musicians -- George Nozuka, three years Justin's senior, released his debut dance-pop album, Believe, in 2006 -- and after the family moved from New York City to Toronto, Ontario, after his parents' divorce, he began to explore music himself. Learning to play guitar from a classmate at boarding school, Nozuka began writing the songs that would make up his debut album when he was only 15. Playing gigs on Toronto's active folk and singer/songwriter circuit while still in high school, Nozuka attracted the attention of the British indie label Outcaste Records (Joss Stone, KT Tunstall), which signed the youngster for his 2006 debut album, Holly. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music GuideMore

Hey Justin, I had the pleasure of seeing your show in Philly on 3/5/09, I traveled to NYC so that my cousin could see your show cuz I've been telling her about your music. Unfortunately the bus driver got lost and we missed your whole set. We were both really upset cuz we only wanted to see you, but hopefully we will see you if you come back to the Northeast.

Your music is beautiful and cant wait for the next album. Wishing you success in the future
