Musically inspired by soulful vocalists George Michael and Sam Smith, Justin Peng offers a captivating blend of R&B, soul, and pop that resonates with a global audience.
After winning a Chinese Central Television (CCTV) talent competition: Bravo Youngsters (华彩少年）in 2020, Justin is swiftly making his mark, Vogue China named him the “Rising Newcomer”, Nichole Scherzinger highly praised his soulful vocal control, whereas Gary Barlow complemented that: “You have great potential”. After his sold-out London headline show at the Grace (150 capacity) in May 2024, and his festival debut at the Sound City Liverpool (5000 capacity), Justin is gearing up for his 2025 London headline show at the Lower Third, on the 8th of February, and he will be performing at Mighty Hoopla 2025, on Sunday the 1st of June.
Justin is ready to take his place. Like Rina Sawayama and Griff, he wishes to bring the underrepresented East-Asian talent to the forefront through his music, represent his communities by creating a space where diverse voices are heard and celebrated, and inspire others to pursue their passions relentlessly.
