About Me

Justine / Justyna Joanna Janik Jj was born and raised in Żywiec, Poland.

- semifinalist in \"The Voice of Poland\"

- finalist in International Songwriting Competition 2015 / Unsigned Only category

She grew up backstage due to her Dad who is a sound engineer and concert organizer. At every concert she would sit on the cases behind the scenes and dream that one day she’ll sing for the crowds. At the age of six she started playing violin, but classical music was not for her. She finished primary music school and escaped into dance and music by artists such as Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce.

At the end of high school Jj took part in the casting for the Tv show „Clash of the Choirs“. It was three months of very hard work but she had learned a lot from that experience. Thanks to the program Jj met her teachers who helped her develop her vocal skills.

Three years later, in 2014 Jj won the title of a semifinalist in „The Voice of Poland“. It was a big break for her career. She decided to take up music and she has started to write her own songs. Jj works and plays concerts with amazing musicians from all over the world.
