My guest today is Justin Stanton. Justin is an amazing trumpeter,
keyboard player, composer, and producer. Justin primarily performs,
records and tours with Snarky Puppy, Huntertones,
and Banda Magda. Although you can find him collaborating
with his "puppies", Mike “Maz” Maher, Chris Bullock or Robert
‘Sput’ Searight on their original projects.
Justin humbly shares his growth as he built inner confidence and
deep gratitude for the challenges inherent in the music business.
He has traveled the world, been to every continent, except
Antarctica and shares how blown away he was by a recent trip to
Morocco. During this festival, Justin experienced a different kind
of music collaboration, which meant letting go of preconceived
notions and staying open, curious and engaged.
Justin’s long awaited solo debut album “Secret
Place” was released on May 3rd, 2019 and the next night
Justin had a celebratory live performance of his album at Rockwood
Music Hall in NYC. I invite you to purchase this creative, soulful
record!!! Check out the links below to do so, see a music
video of his song “What Do You Want?” as well as a cool
partially-animated music video of the song he wrote “Bad Kids
to the Back” for Snarky Puppy’s newest album
"Immigrance". I encourage you to experience
Justin’s awesome talent live!! Enjoy the podcast.
