 Justin Kawika Young创作歌手，出生于1978年8月7日，流行于夏威夷音乐界。曾在1995年歌曲创作比赛第一名，贾斯汀拥有机会在夏威夷本地录制专辑。贾斯汀扮演键盘，吉他，夏威夷四弦琴，并在十首歌中创作了6首歌曲。 In March 1996, Justin's debut album released at number three at Tower Records for Hawaiian albums and remained in the top ten for six weeks[citation needed]. Three of Justin's original songs were released, and each spent several weeks as one of the five most requested songs of the day on local radio stations[citation needed]. While promoting his album, Justin performed throughout Hawaii, including a performance at the Waikiki Shell in front of thousands while opening for the national reggae group, Big Mountain.   Justin's success in Hawaii has not lessened his desire to reach his ultimate goal. Justin's dream is to have the opportunity to share his unique, soothing music on a national level. His musical inspirations include: Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, Babyface, Brian McKnight. Justin also holds great admiration for the artistry and lyricism of Sarah McLachlan, Jewel and Fiona Apple. These influences combine with Justin's own expressions to create a distinct style. Shades of the laid-back lifestyle of the islands can be sensed in his mellow, relaxing, and soulful songs that combine old and new sounds.    Outside of music, Justin is a well rounded individual. As a senior in high school, Justin managed to maintain a 4.00 grade point average while recording his first album. He also received a scholarship from the Hawai`i Academy of Recording Arts which allowed him to take classes at the University of Hawai`i. Justin also enjoys athletic activities and recently completed the Tin Man Triathlon. Justin is raised by his single mother and he hopes to take some of her financial burden soon through music.
