2) Justin James Hayward-Young, a British artist who recorded as Jay Jay Pistolet and is now with The Vaccines.
1) Rising from the beautiful beaches and warm tropical atmosphere of the Hawaiian Islands, comes a young, poised, local recording artist with national appeal, potential, and aspirations. Justin Kawika Young is a gifted singer/song writer who, at this young age, has already experienced success in the Hawaiian music scene. After winning first place in a song writing contest in 1995, Justin was given the opportunity to record a local album. Working on the project, Justin gained experience and knowledge in all aspects of the recording process. Showing his versatility as a musician, Justin played keyboards, guitar, and ukulele, and wrote six of the ten songs on the record.
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. 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. While promoting his album, Justin performed throughout the Islands. Most notable, was a performance at the Waikiki Shell in front of thousands while opening for the national Reggae group, Big Mountain. Justin has established a reputation in the Islands for his good music and gentle character.
In September of 1997, Justin released his much anticipated sophomore album "Soothe You". The album produced four number one radio hits across the Island chain. At the end of the year Justin was picked by one radio station as the number one new artist of 1997. He also received three Hawaiian Music Award including: "Best Performance By A Rhythm & Blues Artist", "New Artist of the Year", and Honorable Recognition for his version of the classic song "Crazy Love". In July of ‘98, Justin was selected by Brian McKnight to be one of two local opening acts for his Hawai`i concert.
Justin's third album, "My Eyes Adore You", shows his continued growth as a vocalist and songwriter. Many original songs appear on the album including a beautiful acoustic ballad called "Was It Loneliness", and a Hawaiian falsetto song inspired by his home called "E Kailua E". Justin also brings a fresh vibe to John Denver's "Leaving On A Jet Plane", new lyrics to Frankie Vallie's classic "My Eyes Adore You", and a smooth R&B flow to the Bee Gees' and Hui Ohana's "Come On Over". Another highlight is an acoustic reggae collaboration with local recording group Pure Heart.
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.

All Attached
Justin Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the day you were born
And she gives you all that she makes
And would you treat your.. mother that way
And take more than she creates
CHORUS:
You're not alone
To feed your own, but there ain't no other kind
We share a home
Your dirty laundry is mine
And it all comes back
'cause it's all attached....somehow
We'll end of the same stuff
Of ashes and dust
But all you see is a different face
Now would you treat your brother that way
And claim more right to his fate.. oohh..
CHORUS
Forget what you see
Your eyes create the spaces between
There 'aint no way to separate
An ocean that's been made from smaller streams...
CHORUS

Line by Line Meaning
She fed you and led you
Your mother has been nurturing and guiding you since birth
Since the day you were born
Your mother's care and love for you began at birth
And she gives you all that she makes
Your mother provides for you in every way she can
And would you treat your.. mother that way
You should not mistreat your mother or take advantage of her
And take more than she creates
It is unfair and disrespectful to consume more resources than your mother produces
CHORUS: You're not alone
You have a community of people who care about you and are willing to help
Even though you've been tryin'
Despite your best efforts, things may not be going well for you
To feed your own, but there ain't no other kind
You are trying to support yourself and your loved ones, but there is no alternative group to rely on
We share a home
We all live in the same world and have a responsibility to care for it
Your dirty laundry is mine
The problems and issues that you face affect the entire community
And it all comes back
Your actions and decisions have consequences for yourself and others
'cause it's all attached....somehow
Everything is interconnected and we are all part of a larger system
We'll end of the same stuff
In the end, we will all experience the same fate
Of ashes and dust
We will all eventually die and return to the earth
But all you see is a different face
We may look different on the outside, but we share the same humanity
Now would you treat your brother that way
You should not mistreat your fellow human beings
And claim more right to his fate.. oohh..
It is wrong to believe that you are entitled to more than someone else
CHORUS
Reaffirmation of the message that we are all connected and responsible for each other
Forget what you see
Don't judge others based solely on appearances or surface-level observations
Your eyes create the spaces between
Our perception can create illusions and distortions in how we view the world
There ain't no way to separate
Everything is interconnected and cannot be completely isolated from one another
An ocean that's been made from smaller streams...
The larger environment is made up of smaller, individual parts that are all essential to its existence
CHORUS
Final reminder of the importance of community and interconnectedness
