"All I can say is wow!!!! I was not expecting Justin Timberlake level of entertainment; however I don't think Timberlake can play guitar like Maki (or bass, or sax....) we are talking Prince level guitar. Maki's singing is crazy off the charts amazing. He has fantastic covers and his originals are incredible. How he is not a mega superstar is beyond me."

Thanks again for playing such an important part to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! We received a ton of compliments on how great you sounded. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is considering an acoustic singer for any event. You are professional and tremendously talented. Really appreciate the time you took to learn a new song for us. Thanks!

"We have booked Justin a slew of times to play at our venue Palasad Socialbowl. Always super professional, and does an amazing job entertaining the crowds with his originals and tailored covers to the crowds desires!"

"I have known Justin for a while, and let me tell you, it is a TREAT if you find him playing at a local cafe and bar. Not only is he a brilliantly talented soul with music that will touch your heart, but he will often take the time to share a conversation with you. His smile is infectious, and it is very much real. If you have the opportunity to see him - DO SO!!"

Light 'n Breezy with a Twist of Jazz:
Event date was late Aug 2021 at one of his zoom concerts. Justin's music and lyrics appeal to me because of they are light, bright and jazzy. Perfect to sing along with when on a long drive or to dance along with at a night out with friends.

"multi-talented Canadian singer/songwriter Justin Maki delivers the goods with his instantly infectious, jazz and soul inflected, super-hipster [music]"
"Everything that makes Justin Maki who he is – from his delectable chords to his ability to charm you with his lyrics – remains intact, only more refined and focused."
"[Justin's music is] lighthearted, playful, and punctuated by groove-inducing bass, lush guitars, saturated synths, and decidedly danceable beats."
