JUSTIN-LEE SCHULTZ
“My heart’s desire is to spread peace, love, positivity, and unity through my music and to be an inspiration to my generation,” declares 16-year-old multi-instrumental prodigy Justin-Lee Schultz. It is no wonder the South African-born, LA-based musician has prompted both Quincy Jones and Harry Connick Jr. to rave “This kid is something special” and Robert Glasper to exclaim “Justin is an older man in a boy’s body!! It’s so great to see somebody so young have such a vast love of ALL kinds of music!! He sounds amazing.”
Down Beat Magazine declared Justin’s “Unique brilliance is undeniable.” For Justin, the pursuit for his eternal musical quest began as a toddler when he began playing with his father and bassist Julius and drum playing sister (four years his senior), Jamie-Leigh. The threesome even appeared on America’s Most Talented Family.
“Music takes me to my happy place,” says Justin. “As soon as I start playing or listening to my favorite artists, any bad emotions fade away. I don’t see myself doing anything else other than music for the rest of my life.”
On September 1, 2023, Justin-Lee Schultz will release his second solo album on Shanachie Entertainment, Just In The Moment. As the title suggests, the awe-inspiring multi-instrumentalist has arrived and his latest musical statement is imbued with soul, fire, and passion, asserting that he is one of the most talented young musicians to emerge in years.
“This kid is something special!”
“Justin is an older man in a little boy’s body! He sounds amazing and he’s only getting better!”
