Justin King

[Sir Kyle]

[SIZE=1]As of late, I've been collecting different bits and pieces of music stylings to broaden my perspectives on the music scene as a whole. Ever since I got to college, I've increased my music library at least 10 fold and in the process of doing so, I've been exposed to many different music stylings and many different artists, all of whom I find entertaining and quite talented.

But one in particular stands out to me and his name is Justin King. Mr. King is a classic/folk style guitar player who blends those elements with modern styles and a bit of blues and funk. He's traveled around the world and has implemented different styles of local music from all walks of society, especially in Europe. He has brought a new face to the acoustic guitar and in my eyes is pretty damn close to being a musical genius. He's self taught (started at 14) and has made music his life since then, releasing three albums full of orignal work that is simply stunning.

Here's some cover art from his CD collection:

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else had heard of this guy because I hadn't till just recently. I'm surprised I hadn't, either, since he's such a unique and creative artist that it's rare you miss talent like that.

For those who know him (if any) what do you think of Justin King? And for those who don't know a single bit about him, check his website ([URL=http://www.justinking.com]Justin King.com[/URL] ) and make sure you watch the video; his skills are simply insane.[/SIZE]

I've heard of him but have never listened to his music. I sampled some stuff and can say I'm not particularly excited about it.

I will say I think he's cute. Does that count for anything?
