‘We Want Justice!’ - Up-and-coming artiste aims to positively impact youth

A musical prodigy, Justice Addison Case, began playing the piano at one year old.

He graduated to the drums at age 15 and started playing the bass guitar at age 16. The teen then discovered a passion for vocal production and that's when he began recording professionally as an artiste.

Raised in Red Hills district, he began his transformation into Justice The Artiste while as a choir boy in his small community church in rural Jamaica.

"It was in this space of reverence that I first recognised the power of music and also understood the mission to use my gifts for good," he explained. At 19 years old, he has already released three projects.

"My first full-length body of work titled Renaissance was released on July 1, 2020. My latest project is titled We Want Justice!, an EP which caught the ears of well-known producer Walshy Fire from Major Lazer, among other industry insiders. That project was the result of a lot of work by myself and my music producer friends," the artiste shared.

According to Justice The Artiste, his sound infuses the Caribbean roots of his youth with a wide range of musical flavours from around the world and his lyrics speak to issues of this new world. He is particularly proud of tracks such as Light and Suffering from We Want Justice! which explore the current situation.

Justice The Artiste, who shared that his drive for success comes from his family and the potential impact that he could have on other Jamaican youths through his music and message, is now working on a new project.

"My upcoming album is titled The Color Wheel. I made some new producer friends like Ransom Beatz and Loopy Beatz from Nigeria and I also got to work with some esteemed Jamaican engineers like Johnoye 'Biggz Fya' Bucknor. My music has also reached the ears of many other young artistes that I have connected with like Blvk H3ro and Keznamdi," he said.

He shared that he is inspired by "musical creatives who have made solid impacts on a global scale by blending Jamaica's culture with the different flavours of music one can find around the world". He named Koffee, Protoje, BEAM, and Chronixx as "examples for me of how to do it right".
