With the influences of classic and folk rock, Justina writes from personal experience and fictional stories. She pens all her own tunes and delivers from the heart with her soft , yet soulful rock vocal approach. In May of 2005 Justina released her five song, fully produced debut EP titled "Break of Day", and in December her single "Believe" which she recorded for the Lainie's Angels Foundation to raise charity for kids with cancer and blood disorders. She recently recorded her long awaited follow-up EP "Last One Standing" which she co-produced. A five song collection, "Last One Standing" contains more mature lyrics and is creatively produced. Influences include The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, and Michelle Branch. "Justina's got the talent and the heart to go to the top. This apparent ingenue has recently released "Break of Day", a startlingly mature sample of her virtuosity." -Cafe Improv "Just a week after releasing her first 5-song EP titled "Break of Day", it has been receiving rave reviews. There is a definite buzz accompanying this release, so come out and catch a rising star!" -The Indigo Coffeehouse "Justina is a phenomenal talent, since her debut performance here, we knew we had witnessed something special. She has wonderful lyrics that she transforms into great harmonious songs. Justina has the making of star; we consider her as one of the sensational artists who is 'under the radar'." -Espresso Joe's "Justina has pipes and attitude. She rocks some nice back rhythm on acoustic guitar when the band is in full swing, and is on target in the stripped down guitar and vocal moments. Good dynamics, focused band...if there were ever any doubts as to her ability to rock, they have been put to rest!" -Rob Jones, The Court Tav new Irish language social network - AnLionra PodCampIreland in Kilkenny 27th September - Free event 2008 Internation Year of the Potato
