New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Wide, warm, weird, analog, funky, soulful, and deep, "Secret Place" gives us an idea of what has been going on in Justin's Stanton's head all these years. This is an incredibly varied- though cohesive- debut from a rich (and normally understated) musical personality. As a composer, producer, arranger, keyboardist, and trumpeter, his abilities are finally on full display." Michael League (Snarky Puppy)
Justin Stanton´s long-awaited Debut Solo Album, Secret Place, was released in May with a Sold Out show at Rockwood
