Justin got into rap around the age of 14, but always looked at himself as a rock star even as a kid. His dad and mom left him for drug addiction and was raised by his mothers mom and her step dad. Justin's father Steve was a musician, he was the lead singer and guitarist of the band "Down periscope" and got on the radio one time in Florida back in the mid 90's. Justin's dad left to pursue a career of music so his father and band members hit road, heading to Florida , Texas, and Nashville meeting cool celebrities on their journey. Running into "Bobby Richie" aka "Kid Rock" and spending years with country sensation "Kieth Urban" under a bridge homeless was an eye opener for the rapper J T. It helped J T figure himself out and decide that he was meant for music being that it was running through his own blood and veins. Rap came later but J T was part of the big brother big sister program where he met "Brian" who just happened to be a musician and taught J T and his buddy's the basics on how to play instruments such as the drums, guitar, bass guitar, and keyboard. That is when Justin and friends got their own instruments and started their own band called "Blue Pearl" at the age of 11 or 12..It was not a real band but their drum set said"Blue Pearl" on it and they sat in the basement and tried to play their favorite Beatle songs, really they were just making a bunch of noise, but it meant more to J T than it meant to any of his friends who just did it for a hobby.
