JUSTIN NECH

This 18 year old New York native was raised in Shanghai but returned only 3 months ago with a bus pass and 2 suitcases in hand to pursue his dreams. A self described risk taker, Justin's go getter attitude attracted a community of artists and a manager not even two weeks into his residency in New York.

In 2022, armed with nothing but his wit and scant funds, Justin utilized TikTok's algorithm to leverage his exposure and music, testing his audience demographic. Tattooed on his arm are the numbers 2018, the year he realized music was not just a hobby, but a career he had to pursue at the tender age of 14. Originally slated for Berklee College of Music in Boston Massachusetts, Justin realized that route into music wasn't for him.

Justin draws inspiration for his music from his personal life and surroundings. His songs from his first album Sugar Coated Lies are narration like dialogues as he navigates adult life for the first time and inevitably complicated relationships.
