   About Justin Hillman

I won’t bother trying to write an artful autobiography in the third person. I’ve got a story, so I’ll get right to it. Ever since I was quite young, music was simply an instinct. Growing up around the campfire, listening to friends and relatives perform traditional folk songs on beautifully aged acoustic guitars and wailing harmonicas, I couldn’t help but be fascinated – my flame was lit. A dedicated bass player throughout my adolescence, I explored many different styles of music - particularly anything grungy or punk rock - but I did my time in the school Jazz band. I taught myself guitar in the hallways and late at night pan handling on many a street corner. Very quickly my folky roots sprouted, and I found my place in the musical world. At the age of 15 (epochs prior to our present day), I began pre-production for my independent debut album entitled “As The Sun Meets The Moon”(2008). Being equally intrigued by technology and music, I took on the task of building my own studio. Initially, I was located in my grandparents nearby barn, in an upper level apartment – I later relocated at least three times while working on the album. Skipping out on my senior year of high school, I started college early, opening up more free time to spend in the studio on my own and as an apprentice at Muddy Angel Music & Arts, run by producer/engineer/pianist Mark Kelso. A few years of hard work have gone by - my album is complete - and I have opened a permanent studio in our basement called First Mark Music (myspace.com/firstmarkmusic) where I continue to hone my skills. Over the last few years I have been able to share the stage and the studio with many great musicians in the Berkshires and throughout the North East. It has been more than an honor. I count my blessings & the journey carries on. You can find the rest of my story thus far on my new album. Be Well - Justin W. Hillman.

I really REALLY dig it. I love the vibe and smoothness of your voice! I'm hitting the studio in July to cut an EP, and we're trying to keep the instruments sounding simple but beautiful..which is exactly what you've done. Very nice!
