Justin Mills

www.myspace.com/stcgp What's going on folks if you like what you hear holla at my partner/manager Renaissance at 203-589-4172 My name is Justin Mills. I'm working on my 2nd. project, getting all the recording finished. I'm looking to collab with any one any style. I'm an open artist. I'll be back to up date this introduction.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Justin Mills, the emcee, actor, writer, performer, and entertainer come from the streets of Connecticut. New Haven born, and Danbury raised. Serving as an outlet and a safe way to stay out of trouble, Mills found that writing and performing his raps could one day, place him in a wonderful situation and out of the poverty stricken life he was accustomed to. Formulating his first rap lyrics in the fourth grade for a girl he admired, he never lost hope and continued to strive for perfection in his newly found craft. Justin Mills is hitting the east coast streets with one of his most important projects to date. “Black Storm Records Presents: Justin Mills Vol. 1, “The Jealousy Mixtape”. The mixtape captures his versatility, wordplay, storytelling, humor, and raw emotional exploits. The mixtape is a compilation of industry and original production. Distributing over 1000 cds, it has also become a very successful promotional tool for the rising artist to extend his musical talent to A&Rs, managers, talent agents, and others in a position to advance his career. None the less, it has definitely allowed him to become familiar to new and prospective fans. He has been performing live since 1996, and even earlier if you count his church plays and musicals. Justin Mills has traveled all over the east coast and has even ventured out to Boise, ID for a NACA National Association for Campus Activities convention. This artist does not just portray his talent in music, he has appeared in the independent film, entitled “Tri-State”, adding his music to the film, as well as creating the title track. Adding to his film credentials, you can soon hear Justin Mills on a film called “April Fools”. Justin Mills’ overall goal is to become major independent, become a household name, and it doesn’t stop there. He is currently in the studio recording and working on the release of his debut cd.
