Justin is the archetypal poet warrior.

Vulnerability and power coexist, and you can feel it in the songs. From piano prodigy to playing guitar across the globe opening for the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age and Ozzy Osbourne, Cotta has established himself as a musical tour de force. He was the founder, singer, guitarist, lyricist and principle writer for Memento (Columbia) and the touring guitarist and keyboardist for VAST (Elektra).  JSC is a rare artist, with a knack for writing anthems and  lyrics that resonate deeply. His music transcends genre, at times hauntingly delicate and soulful, mixing glimpses of alt rock, folk, punk and pop, but with the cohesive storytelling of a genuine singer-songwriter, complimented by vocals that land somewhere between the prose of U2's Bono and power of Tool's Maynard J Keenan.
