Justin Bianco began making music as soon as he could reach the keys of the family piano. He later learned how to play both it and the violin via the Suzuki method, but gave up the latter after several years of instruction in order to focus his efforts on just one instrument. He played almost entirely by ear, memorizing pieces and writing many of his own. He performed one of his first compositions, “Dragonfly in Amber,” at age twelve.

In his teens, Justin discovered his passion for electronic music and has continued exploring and experimenting with it ever since. Working in each of these genres—and often blending the two—Justin has written, performed, recorded, produced, and released more than a dozen albums over the past two decades.

Many of Justin's tracks have been licensed for use in films, multimedia projects, and music videos (such as the original video for Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans"). If you're looking for music for your next project, reach out below to learn more.

In 2010, facing years of economic constriction, Justin quit his day job and began working for himself as an iOS app developer. Today he leads two successful companies, forScore and Bitpress and has released over two dozen apps for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, Mac, Vision Pro and Apple TV. His incredibly popular sheet music reading app, forScore, has been seen in window displays, banners, and on demo iPads in Apple retail stores worldwide. It has been prominently featured on the iOS App Store several times and its icon has been repeatedly spotted on stage during Apple events.

Justin self-published his first novel, Shipyard Rook, in late 2011. He continues to enjoy writing as a hobby and does so whenever he manages to break away from writing app documentation and website copy (which isn’t often).

Since he was a teenager, Justin has enjoyed taking photos as a hobby and often uses his own images as cover artwork for his albums. After moving to Palm Springs, California part time he began photographing the landscape and Midcentury Modern architecture using a camera modified to see both visible light and some of the infrared spectrum. He currently sells prints of his work locally and participates in art shows throughout the Coachella valley.
