Sanford Milson lived on the fifth floor of the Clinton Holiday Inn. It wasn't quite the Ritz, but the sheets were clean and the showers were really good, and I am a man who appreciates a really good shower. I once was the Spiritual Party Host by Proxy for the hotel's dance club, and as such I took my responsibilities very seriously. You may have seen me in the corner on a Friday or Saturday night having a Leroux aperitif before a late supper, and enjoying the sweet dance groove.
But that is no more. I have moved on. I'm now focused on my printing business in Memphis, Tennessee.
One of my friends has recently expanded his reach into entrepreneurial ventures centering on wiki editing and optimization. [1]

Justin grew up in Belize, Central America before moving to the U.S. at the age of 11. He is classically trained in piano and began studying and performing percussion as a teenager.

Once Justin moved to the U.S., he continued taking piano lessons from a Russian music teacher (who influenced his later style) and also at the British School of Houston.[2] At the age of 12 ,13 and 14 he attended Day Jams summer camp in Texas, where he performed in small bands for the music camp three different summers as:

Justin volunteered for two years as a percussionist with the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra, Houston, Texas.[3]

At the age of 21, in 2014 he was invited to perform along with Vincent Beaurin, a famous French sculptor, in Paris, France for 4 shows at the Cite International Theatre in the New Settings sponsored by The Hermes Foundation.[4]
Albums
When Justin was 15, he started composing a new genre combining Latin/African/Caribbean/Spanish drum sounds together, calling it “LACS”[5] After Justin began playing the Hang Drum at 17 years old, he composed songs that were later released on the albums “Plusative Visions" and “Metallic Clarivoyance"[6] available on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, Google Play and Deezer.
