All I can say is wow!!!! I was not expecting Justin Timberlake level of entertainment; however I don't think Timberlake can play guitar like Maki (or bass, or sax....) we are talking Prince level guitar. Maki's singing is crazy off the charts amazing. He has fantastic covers and his originals are incredible. How he is not a mega superstar is beyond me.

Justin and his band came to play for our work event and they were AMAZING! They had a fabulous variety of music and the energy was epic! Our entire staff had a wonderful time and were very impressed by this very talented group. We cannot wait to listen to them again.

Justin Maki is a new arrival on Canada's music scene. He's rapidly taking Canada by storm, and is building industry cred as any serious musician's popstar of choice. His guitar chops and versatility set him apart from almost everybody who plays this kind of music, and his infectious hits are more layered than you'd think on first listen. His music holds up time and time again, and offers up new dimensions no matter how many times you've heard it. It's qualities like these that make him a fantastic live performer to catch more than once, and ensure he'll be working in this business a long time. These are still some early days. He's hungry, happy, and energetic, and it shows in every performance. Check him out when you can: you'll be bragging "I saw him back when he was still a rising star" before you know it! 🎵🎶

OMG. Best birthday gift ever. That was utterly fantastic. You are certainly a master at song writing. I laughed, I teared up. It was the BEST!!! Don picked a great gift for my 60th. Thank you and can’t wait til we can see you perform again. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Justin is a fantastic singer, songwriter, and performer. A star in the making.

Thanks again for playing such an important part to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! We received a ton of compliments on how great you sounded. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is considering an acoustic singer for any event. You are professional and tremendously talented. Really appreciate the time you took to learn a new song for us. Thanks!

We got to listen to Justin and his band last year and they were awesome! Great artists and great entertainment! Loved that they let us request some of our favorites! Highly recommend!

Justin is a true musical artist. His voice is amazing. It is always a pleasure to listen to him sing and to watch him perform. All the best Justin.

Love listening to this man sing and play guitar he is super talented and is clearly mastering his craft.

We have booked Justin a slew of times to play at our venue Palasad Socialbowl. Always super professional, and does an amazing job entertaining the crowds with his originals and tailored covers to the crowds desires!

I have known Justin for a while, and let me tell you, it is a TREAT if you find him playing at a local cafe and bar. Not only is he a brilliantly talented soul with music that will touch your heart, but he will often take the time to share a conversation with you. His smile is infectious, and it is very much real. If you have the opportunity to see him - DO SO!!

Seen Justin play live this past Friday and he killed it, definitely puts on a show you don’t wanna miss!!

Light 'n Breezy with a Twist of Jazz:

Event date was late Aug 2021 at one of his zoom concerts. Justin's music and lyrics appeal to me because of they are light, bright and jazzy.  Perfect to sing along with when on a long drive or to dance along with at a night out with friends.

Justin Maki and his band brought an electrifying energy to the Family Peacemakers Conference that had everyone on their feet from start to finish! Their vibrant performance not only entertained but also uplifted the entire crowd, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie. From the first note to the last, the band's non-stop fun-filled music had attendees dancing and singing along, making it an unforgettable experience for all. Justin Maki and his band are true professionals who know how to bring people together through the power of music. We can't wait to have them back again!

No words can express how talented Justin is. We cannot thank him enough for performing at our wedding. His music skills are outstanding in all aspects (vocals, various guitars etc). His professionalism is top notch. The first time we saw him perform we knew he would be a perfect fit for our venue. His skills and charisma did not disappoint. We look forward to watching future performances.

Amazing vocals, outstanding guitar skills with all the extras, and an all around fun interactive entertainer. You got the total package here.

Justin and his band were amazing! We held a Gala at our tennis club and everyone had a blast dancing for hours. Justin’s playlist was perfect for our crowd and his voice is fabulous and his MC ability kept the night going well. No one wanted Justin to leave !

Justin has an amazing voice! His vocal range and control are exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to portray emotion via song. He possesses an outstanding natural talent, and it is clear that he worked tirelessly and determinedly to perfect his craft. Keep up the great job, you are without a doubt one of the most talented singers out there!

Justin is a class act! Extremely professional, beyond talented & full of energy. Gets a crowd going every time. Can't say enough great things about him, most importantly, we highly recommend him. Thanks for being part of our events Justin.

Amazing! I can't thank Justin enough. I reached out to him asking if he could put together a song for my wedding anniversary. I want something that really showed how much my wife ment to me and how much I loved every moment with here. He asked lots of great questions and I gave him some notes of things I wanted him to use in the song. A few days later he had something in the works! He asked me to take a listen. WOW! I didn't know what to expect but he blew my mind at how good this small sample was. He send me a finished copy and I loved it m, it was above and beyond what I even had in mind. It's a hit! She loved it and my whole family and all my friends think he did a fantastic job! It's everyone's new favorite song. Now I want him to make one for everyone else in my family. Thank you, Justin! You are amazing. If anyone is thinking they might want to have Justin make a song for them, don't think about it! Just do it! It's one of the best things you will ever do. It's more then just a song. Love ya Justin!

Just go see him live, or watch one of his music videos or download his album and you will understand why this young singer/songwriter is so incredibly talented. I have seen Justin Maki perform at several large events and more intimate settings and he knows how to connect with his audience in a way very few artists can. When he sings you feel as though he is singing directly to you no matter how many people are in the room. Once I discovered Justin and his music I was hooked and have been a huge fan ever since.

Justin was absolutely amazing for our wedding reception. Professionalism and talented individual whom made the night for my wife and I. Can’t thank him enough for the music and aura he created for our special night. Thank you x million Justin!

Justin is...a rare level of musician who is at the very top of his craft. Even in Nashville, a city known to be home to the best musicians in the world, he has quickly developed a reputation as being someone who makes people take notice of his extraordinary abilities.

It is extremely rare to come across someone with undeniable talent and a work ethic to match...I have had the pleasure working with Justin as a vocal, performance and career coach for several years. During this time, I have watched Justin grow his multifaceted career as a performer, band leader, and singer songwriter, into a thriving business. He is by far one of the best vocalists on the planet, with an expansive range, enormous stylist skills and an innate ability to emotionally connect to stories he is singing. In addition, Justin has the experience to consistently captivate every size audience which has contributed to his ability to consistently grow his fan base one show at a time.

I’ve known Justin for many years and it’s always a pleasure to share the stage with him. The first time I witnessed his show I was blown away. His vocal range was incredible but his guitar playing was top level too. It’s rare to find a person proficient in both areas but he’s not proficient he’s exceptional. Aside from the stage he’s a great writer as well. I’ve been in some pretty amazing writing rooms in Nashville and I would have no problem saying Justin would hold his own in any of those rooms. 

Being an independent musician of 15 years myself, I have met many musicians trying to live their dream. I can confidently say that Justin is easily one of the most hard working musicians around. It is extremely difficult to make a living as a musician and Justin is doing it with very little backing from outside sources. His dedication is only matched by his skill level and talent as a musician. He is up there with the very best in his genre both as a singer and guitar player.

Justin is a natural borne songwriter, a great musician and vocalist, has a keen pop sensibility and sees exactly where his art meets the market.  In addition, he is highly business minded and can look past the art with a clear picture of how to present his brand and art to the world.

Fantastic vocals and performance by Justin Maki every time. He uses a looping machine while performing to build songs in front of your eyes!
