In recent years his name and his music have taken the Pacific by storm. The Papua New Guinean born singer has emerged at the very forefront of the music scene throughout the islands and beyond. His charm and charisma have captured the hearts and minds of scores of adoring fans, and his beloved songs have become household favourites time and time again. Justin's unique style and sound is an irresistible blend of pop, reggae, R&B, dancehall and island music. His music is of course heavily stemmed from his diverse musical influences, but it is also undoubtedly a result of his life experiences in his home nation Papua New Guinea, and also from many years of living, travelling and performing abroad in North America, the South Pacific and South-East Asia.

After the staggering success of Justin's debut album "Much Love" (2005), which produced the dance floor favourite "I Wanna Give You Some Lovin'" and the Pacific-wide anthem "Much Love", his follow-up album "JW" (2008) was no less impressive adding to his repertoire the sentimental ballad favourite "In Love With U" and the silky smooth, dancehall laced "Fire" - both multi-national no.1 smash hits. The expectations were high for Justin to come back strongly and reproduce the magic that he captured on his first two albums, and now after a long wait and much anticipation Justin's latest album, "Reign of Morobe", has finally arrived and is already proving to be his finest work to date.
