Since 1999 Justin McRoberts has been a constant and noteworthy presence on the independent music scene. A songwriter, storyteller, teacher and an advocate, he is one of those rare artists who blends artistry, honesty and humor seamlessly. ?In and through art,? Justin writes ?we learn to see ourselves and our world as part of a cohesive, Divinely-orchestrated story.? Sharing songs and stories with an audience is where Justin's gifts are most fully realized.

?In and through art,? Justin writes ?we learn to see ourselves and our world as part of a cohesive, Divinely-orchestrated story.? Sharing songs and stories with an audience is where Justin's gifts are most fully realized. His live shows strike a delicate balance between intellect and emotion. While his audiences are diverse, from congregates in a small rural church to young professionals in DC, most of Justin's schedule is made up of appearances on college campuses in the continental US.

Including early releases with 5 Minute Walk Records, McRoberts has consistently made thoughtful and well crafted albums. His catalogue currently includes 7 full-length projects and handful of EP's.

Central to Justin's work is advocacy on behalf of the poor and oppressed through Compassion International. ?Not only do the poor need us,? he writes ?we need the poor to remind us what being human is about. In the same way that the poor learn to identify themselves with their lack, the wealthy learn to identify themselves with their wealth. It is in the meeting of the two that we can recognize ourselves and one another as human.?
