Justiana has accumulated a bountiful catalogue of catchy six strings soulful pop tunes that leaves listeners humming for days.

She has performed live on the NBC 10! Show in Philadelphia and the NYC ING marathon in 2008. She has also headlined in legendary tri state area venues such as CBGB, The Stone Pony, The Bitter End and many more.
