Chicago-born-and-raised Justin Sconza is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, noted for being an artist who single-handedly creates all of his songs – from the writing to the performing and recording.
Today is a special day for this hugely talented musician, as he marks the release of his sixth album, ‘Fantasy’. This new project features a collection of songs, each of which carries its own distinct narrative.
“‘Fantasy’ centers on the idea that while everyone lives in reality, they also live inside their own thoughts – imagining things they wish they had said, experiences they hope to have one day, or alternate versions of moments that never quite happened. The album exists in that parallel space between the inner world and the real one.”
‘Native Birds of Guam’ is the album’s first single and treats listeners to a melodic and energising Ramones-esque production. The lyrics, inspired by the lack of native birds in Guam (a fact neither Justin nor we knew!), centre around the theme of immediacy.
Over the years, Sconza’s music has won a loyal fanbase globally, resulting in over a quarter of a million career streams to date on Spotify.
