THE JUSTIN A.G. STORY
In The Beginning... The Dream, In His Own Words
All stories have a beginning and Justin''s story began in his pre-teens when he got his first guitar. In Justin''s own words: "It wasn''t a very expensive guitar but it felt like the greatest instrument in the world to me. As I held it and slowly learned a few rudimentary chords, enough to play a song or two, I began to experience a whole new world. My imagination went wild as I fantasized about becoming that coveted teenage icon, a rock star. As the teenage years unwound and with the benefit of many years of guitar lessons and countless hours of solitary practice, I managed to become a proficient enough guitarist, although I never did attain the virtuoso level-a la Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, and others in that league-that I had so coveted and dreamed about. That realization devastated me at first, but I soon turned my attention to another aspect of music. After some soul searching it became clear to me that what I truly loved was performing, singing and writing songs. In other words the full package, as I realized that a superlative lead guitarist is only one component of a great band. Consequently I started exploring and devoting much of my time to writing and developing my singing abilities. Of course I was realistic and fully aware that I id not possess the natural talent of an opera singer. But I also understood that it was not necessary to have a tenor''s voice. I learned early on that in the pop and rock world, and in life as well, what is essential is to be an innovator, not an imitator."
