From the small town of Plaquemine, Louisiana, Justin is no stranger to hard work and adversity. At a very young age he dealt with the tragedy of losing his father. Following in his father’s footsteps, Justin discovered that he too had the gift of music. He honed his talents by singing in the church and studying the harmonies of Earth, Wind and Fire as well as the vocal performances of Michael Jackson. He was also greatly influenced by the music of Lionel Richie, Maroon 5 and Usher.
This singer, songwriter and scholar began sharing his talents with the world through a series of covers, re-writes, and remixes of chart toppers Rihanna, Beyonce’, and more; in addition to multiple self-written and co-produced originals.

After a wave of notable accomplishments, including being selected as an Artist on the Rise by Amazon.com, featured new artist on Myspace and reaching the #8 spot on iTunes (Japan) R&B/Soul charts, Justin began working on his album I Am (released in July of 2012). The lead single "Cherry Bomb" became a viral success and was heavily requested at radio. The album quickly caught the attention of music enthusiasts and industry heavyweights, leading to a meeting with a major record label. Concerned with protecting his individuality and musical sound, Justin decided to further develop his craft and pursue other opportunities.
Upon returning home, Justin was immediately enlisted as a supporting act for Trey Songz Anticipation Tour. Garner’s performance was well received and led to him performing concerts around the United States alongside Big Sean, Keri Hilson and other established recording artists. Continuing to perfect his talent, Justin entered the studio to create Year One, a new project that marked the return to his original R&B Pop sound, bringing soul stirring vocals and emotion back to the forefront. The EP was praised for having incredible songwriting, vocal prowess and received recognition from iTunes editorial staff as New & Noteworthy R&B/Soul.
With no intention of slowing down, Justin passionately records and performs with only one priority – his fans. Justin’s evolution as an artist, songwriter and vocal arranger is remarkable. His drive and ambition for creating music is unrelenting.

Call me crazy that I like playing with fire
You I might get burned
For the thrill I live for this
This crazy thing called love
This game of love so similar
Till you go, 'till you go and hit the spot
When it feels so good
(Chorus)
Sometimes love
Love
Yeah it hurts
And it makes you feel so loved
I wouldn't trade away
These scars for nothing
Get your guns out
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
(Verse)
Dropping bonmbs over my heart
Knock me down and get back up
'Cause I live to see your face
And I like how it feels
'Cause it takes me back in love with you
'Cause the same can
Twist the game
(Chorus)
Sometimes love
Love
Yeah it hurts
And it makes you feel so loved
I wouldn't trade away
These scars for nothing
Get your guns out
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
(Bridge)
Been through so much
I've become
Been down so long
I've become
How we've been we find love
Baby a second chance
Let's try again
Get it right
I hold you close tonight
Yeah
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
(Chorus)
Sometimes love
Love
Yeah it hurts
And it makes you feel so loved
I wouldn't trade away
These scars for nothing
Get your guns out
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
Fire away
