His works have been published most prominently in The All-Music Guide (both print and online editions) and SoulMusic.com. A graduate of Berklee College of Music's Music Business and Management program, he honed his writing chops as a teenager -- publishing "The Hip Key" magazine from 1992-1996. Created out of his childhood home in Virginia Beach, the publication reached a circulation of 10,000 by the time Justin was 16. At Berklee, he continued to perfect his craft with a series of 'Underrated Soul' features for the school's student newspaper, "The Groove," from 1997-2003. This led to a companion TV show on Manhattan Neighborhood Network in 2002; as well as writing for the national Dance Music Authority. As a self-described "obscure pop, dance, and R&B junkie," he is excited to be a part of the BlogCritics team and indulge his musical fancies even further!
