Bay Area saxophonist, Justin Ward, was born and raised in Glenview, Illinois, a suburb just outside of Chicago. His interest in music began at a very early age when he was introduced to the piano and violin at the age of 4. Already having a strong background in music, when he enrolled in band to play the saxophone, he quickly excelled, winning outstanding soloist awards each year at all the local jazz festivals and was nominated for the best soloist award in Downbeat Magazine. He was first chair in both the IMEA concert and jazz bands throughout middle school and high school, eventually going on to study at The DePaul University School of Music. Now, a resident of San Francisco, Justin has quickly become a highly sought after sax player all over the California coast, with regular gigs in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Montecito, and San Francisco.
Being trained in both classical and jazz, Justin is able to put his own spin on today's popular music. He is currently playing alongside many DJs at some of the biggest nightclubs in California. Justin opened for The Dream Foundation's 2012 Celebration of Dreams Gala, sharing the stage with Katy Perry, The Canadian Tenors, Casey Abrams, and many other big names. Most recently, he was personally invited to play for a private event featuring Earth, Wind & Fire.
