An acoustic song of freedom and brotherly love for one another.
Born in Detroit and inspired by early rock legends, Justina grew up swooning along with her radio and playing guitar in friends basements, not realizing her natural talent which lead her to the stage. Her silky-smooth vocals gained strength at a young age in the Award Winning Chippewa Valley High School Choir, under the Instruction of Ellen Bowen. Then molded in time by many inspiring mentors who walked through the path of her life such as Maestro, Benny Caruso, performing as, "Justina's Secret." Her 8 year partnership with Caruso lead to writing dozens of timeless songs. Justina's writing ability comes from her heart to the listeners, through the beautiful melodies and timeless stories into music.
In 2008, Justina moved to Las Vegas by pure chance. The big bright lights and energy of the city, as well as the fellowship of the local music scene, lead her to meeting and working alongside Detroiter, Michael Wilde. creating the guitar duo "Black and Wilde". Justina also performed with Pianist Daemon Basler and the band "MERLOT".
Back to the Florida Keys in 2011, she took a peaceful sabbatical writing music.
Life's twists and turns brought her full circle back to the Detroit area in the summer of 2016. Then in 2017 Hurricane Irma threatened her piece of paradise in and the spirit of the universe brought her back to the island where she now resides and performs with the Trio Smokin' Hot J's along with Jenny Lea Brown & Jenn Newman.
Life is but a perfect Dream~~~~*
