[edit] Biography
Justin Utley began his career as a Mormon-Contemporary singer/songwriter, touring throughout the west United States to mostly religious and faith-based audiences during the late-1990's. He has earned numerous awards in the music and performing arts, including "Best Singer and Songwriter" by Salt Lake City Weekly. He was a featured performer at the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics[1], and composed and performed the theme song to the Emmy-winning PBS movie "The Shadow of Light", as well as other independent films. Theatrically, his credits include a seven-month Utah regional run as "Joseph" in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in 2001 and 2002, and the 2005 Utah premiere of Elton John and Tim Rice's "Aida" as the leading man "Radames". [2]
Justin released his first nationally distributed CD "Runaway" November 19, 2005 on Kolob Records. "Runaway" was co-produced by his bandmate, lead guitarist and co-writer Lance Yergensen, also from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Leaving Utah and his Mormon Faith behind, he relocated to New York City in June 2006. Previous to his move, a remix EP was released on April 3, 2006 entitled 'Hold You + Remixes', which contained remixed versions and a live recording of the title track taken from the album "Runaway". [3]
His next project is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2008.
