Elevate Your Event with the Perfect Soundtrack

With decades of experience fine-tuning the art of performance, I bring more than just music to your event—I bring a soundtrack that evolves with the pulse of your occasion. Drawing from a diverse repertoire of cover songs, Latin/Spanish guitar, jazz, and lively classical tunes, I score your event in real-time, harmonizing with its ever-evolving vibe. Please enjoy this short video that offers a window into the auditory experience I provide.

Kind Words

By the end of our experience with Justin, we can legitimately say we were sad to see him go! It felt more like a close (very talented) friend playing for us, rather than a hired guitarist." - Michael J.

“From our very first meeting, I knew Justin was someone I could rely on. He is honest, professional, incredibly talented and an all around great person.” - Dana G

"Justin was great to work with! His playing style was perfect for our event, very romantic yet festive and bright. He has a wide repertoire but was also willing to learn a new song that we specifically wanted him to play.” - Judy O.
