Joy Keys chats with Singer Justin Garner

Justin Garner’s album debuted at #29 on the iTunes Japan R&B/Soul charts. An accomplishment worth celebrating as this is Justin's first album released exclusively in Japan. With buzz growing overseas and an established fan base in the United States, this independent pop R&B artist is poised for greatness.
 

From the small town of Plaquemine, Louisiana, Justin is no stranger to hard work and adversity. At a very young age he dealt with the tragedy of losing his father, also a musician. Several years later, as if to follow in his father’s footsteps, Justin discovered that he too had the gift of music in the form of song.
 

This singer, songwriter and scholar (a graduate of Southern University with a degree in Marketing) began sharing his talents with the world through a series of covers, re-writes, and remixes of chart toppers  Rihanna, Britney Spears, and more. He has opened for musical acts Trey Songz, Monica, Fantasia, Keri Hilson, and more.
 

In April of 2010 the digital EP entitled “Sound of My Heart” was released, which featured 6 original tracks showcasing Justin's writing and vocal talents. This was followed by a MySpace feature in April of the same year for his record, "Criminal.".
 

On the heels of his May 2011 debut album release in Japan, Justin has already began working hard on his next international album, "Take It from Here" slated for release in July 2011. The soon to be released lead single "Paper Heart" will talk of being recklessly in love, despite dealing with heartbreak from a lover. "Drummer" will serve as the pop international single, a dance pop and R&B hybrid track that pairs Justin's vocals with pulsating kicks and synth.
