Justin Nozuka biography
Blending elements of neo-soul, folk, old-time blues and pop, Justin has the guts of Ray LaMontagne and the soul of Lauryn Hill.
This guitar slinging aficionado has the street smarts of an urban swinger and the heart-bending soul of a gospel preacher, and is adept at blending a dark, bluesy Americana vibe with warm, acoustic soul where bits of old folk music and flamenco tunes swirl in and out of earshot.
Half Japanese, half American Justin Nozuka was born in New York and grew up in Toronto, Raised by a single mother, Justin was the sixth of seven children, where all four of his brothers are artists in some form. As a teen, he spun Motown, folk and hip-hop as he fleshed out his music skills learning guitar with his Mexican friends at boarding school.
During his short career, Justin has already snagged stage time with John Cale, Crowded House, Ziggy Marley, Sam Roberts, Jully Black and Xavier Rudd.
It's open aired honesty tightly knit. You've discovered something that's all your own yet it spans back stories and countries to fill a million yards and a hundred theatres. This could be Central Park, could be Massy Hall.
"In his debut album "Holly", Justin Nozuka has created eleven impressive pieces of thoughtful acoustic-soul. Filled with understated melodies, minimal production and an interesting, sometimes dark take on song-craft...4 Stars." -- BBC

Justin Nozuka with Guests Sweet Thing
September 14 2010 Show 7:30pm
“I just want to be myself, you know?” says Justin Nozuka. The briefest of nervous laughter, and a wry grin, say what he can’t say for himself: There is such a thing as too much introspection, even for a guy who’s made his mark by being candid and reflective. That irony is informed by the old soul behind 21-year-old Nozuka’s fresh-faced countenance, and the duality is striking. New York-born, Canadian bred Nozuka is young enough to have interview jitters, but sufficiently wise to recognize when he stands to sound, well, full of it. So he’s ever vigilant, lest his character fall out of tune with who he wants to be: “I don’t wanna create [an inflated image of myself].”
Yeah, ‘cause that’s someone else’s job. Nozuka’s charge is to craft songs that make his listeners feel like they were up all night together and shared sleep-deprived confessions. The first collection of these, Holly (Coalition/Glassnote Records), is named for Nozuka’s highly supportive mother, and came out when Nozuka was just 19. He penned the first songs, “Supposed to Grow Old” and “I’m in Peace,” when he was fifteen, and wrote the rest between age 16 and 17, but the press marveled at his mature sound and vision, calling Nozuka “as soulful and wise as blues greats four times his age.” His follow-up, You I Wind Land And Sea, will cement and further define that reputation—even as Nozuka endeavors to stay grounded amid copious praise of Holly and his performances on tour and television (VH1’s You Oughta Know, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America NOW, mtvU Woodie Awards).
