The Story

Justin Lantrip picked up a guitar at 22 and never looked back. What started as a quiet curiosity quickly became an all-consuming drive to learn, write, and express something honest through music.

Based in Sandpoint, Idaho, Justin has spent over fifteen years honing his craft as a singer-songwriter, self-producing albums from his own studio and performing at venues like the historic Panida Theater. His sound blends indie folk rock with introspective storytelling into something unmistakably his own.

With five albums to his name and a catalog of deeply personal songs, each record marks another step closer to capturing what he feels inside. From the early fire of I Am My Will to the painted landscapes of Paper Bird to the raw energy of Flood Gates, his music traces a journey of growth, loss, and discovery.
