Our Team

While growing up in the Washington DC area, pursued his interest of music from a young age, playing music, going to concerts, producing events. At the age of 19 when he found it difficult to experience good live music in Boulder, CO, during his university years, he obtained a production internship at the Fox Theater. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to stage manager then monitor engineer and eventually became an audio engineer for the Fox along with another venue, Tugali’s. Inspired by the history of Colorado, Solidman Inc was conceived. It served as an umbrella for music production, performance, and business. After graduating with BA in Economics, Justin relocated to New York City.

In New York City, Justin furthered his career working at several recording studios and venues including Looking Glass Studios (studio of composer Philip Glass, and frequented by David Bowie), The Blue Note (where Justin provided audio support for many Jazz Legends), and Highline Ballroom (Justin helped launch the club and served as Director of Production, supporting high profile artists from Paul McCartney to Amy Winehouse).

Balancing freelance work with the entrepreneurial itch Justin and partner Keith Cecere founded Solidman Studios, a small business, based in the Chelsea area of NYC. While honing their production and social skills they tended to more start-up artists and musicians, here they built their DIY credibility. During this time Solidman Studios matured into its current form TSG.

Keeping an ever changing perspective is a key to TSG’s success. Justin is known for fitting in and operating in any type of environment, a social/business chameleon of sorts. He is a problem solver with the ability to remain calm in the most testing situations. He’s survived NYC and the rest of the world with his heavy travel life. Most recognize him for his iconic handlebar mustache and his even keel demeanor. Passionate about travel, new experiences, family, and new challenges, excitement is always around the corner, even a daily occurrence in Justin’s life.
