JUSTINA

Born and raised in Passaic County, New Jersey, Justina grew up surrounded by music. Justina’s hip hop infused pop music is clearly a voice for the rebellious youth and her distinctive, raspy tone is hard to miss. Her strong and sometimes abrasive character, along with her fun-loving personality, is evident in tracks like the JR Rotem and Shy Boogs produced “Gangsta” and the Mr. Lee produced “Gloves Off”. An avid supporter of writing her own music, Justina is a breath of fresh air in an industry where an artist’s point of view is sometimes hidden. Justina’s original composition, “Gotta Make a Change”, was selected for ShopRite’s Partners in Caring ‘Expressions of Hunger’ national contest and she was featured on the back of General Mill’s Cheerios box in September 2010. She has performed at numerous venues including The Market America International Conventions in Miami, FL and Greensboro, NC (for crowds of 30k), The Susan G. Komen for the Cure ‘Babes Burnin’ Rubber’ breast cancer benefit at Motorsports Park Millville, NJ, The China Club, 40/40, and the Atlantic City’s Pepsi Car Show. Justina’s music has also been featured on popular television shows such as NBC’S Steven Spielberg directed “Smash”, VH1’s “Mob Wives”, Oxygen Network’s “Runnin Russell Simmons”, and MTV’s “True Life”. Her video, ‘Hard to the Body’, recently appeared on Spike TV’s “Top 100 YouTube Videos". Justina released her newest project, “Route 80”, on DatPiff.com. "Route 80" is produced by Shy Boogs, Skitzo & Ryan & Smitty. She also performed in the 2012 Warped Tour in Holmdel, NJ, Darien Center, Ny, Scranton, PA, Mansfield, MA, Camden, NJ, Uniondale, NY, and Columbia, MA.
