Justin Nozuka

I present to you Justin Nozuka - soulful, yearning - his incredible vocals and emotive gaze sent shivers down my spine. His singing style is peppered with twangs of soft rock and blues, coupled with modernity.

He is the modern singer. The modern man. And he is really pretty.

Born in New York to Japanese and American parents, Nozuka grew up in Toronto (Yay Canada).

Rough, yet sensitive - his ballads are emotional; it tugs the very last tearful corner of your heart. At the same time, he has a punk side - taking on rock pop songs with an urban-edgy voice. He is a gem in the rough waiting to be discovered and cut to its sparkling best.

I like the fact that there is a sort of raw edged quality to his singing. It is something that you can keep listening to for a long period of time, without having this nagging toothache. I just dig his street-style approach to the songs.

I love his versatility too! From the common love story, to death at war time, to daily fun, his songs are stung with strong emotions - sorrowful, longing, or plain funky.

I’m buying his album the moment I can squeeze time to head to the stores - heck about my spending quota for the month.

I’m hooked.
