Born and raised in New Jersey, JustKing was introduced to the saxophone in the 4th grade during a career day visit from a saxophonist.
Since then, this rising star continued his pursuit and as a result, graduated from William Patterson University.
JustKing logically fuses a sincere respect for jazz with African Rhythms in a form that reaches all audiences— both mellow and upbeat. His style of music is all-encompassing, advocating unity -- notwithstanding race, gender or religion. As a multi talented artist, JustKing is an educator, plays all saxophones, flute, clarinet and produces/composes/arranges.
This versatile artist's extraordinary sound has brought him all through NYC, LA, Europe and The UK for tours and performances with Mos Def, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Talib Kweli, Theo Croker and Winard Harper . In conjunction with international tours, Justin has been placed firmly on festival stages including Fest De Fado in France, Jazz Cats Festival in Belgium, Burghausen Festival in Germany and Mid Atlantic Jazz Festival in Maryland.
Join him on his continued journey throughout Europe, The UK , Japan, Australia, Africa and The USA!
