The American/Canadian Nozuka started penning the songs that would appear on his debut album when he was just 15 years old. Now 21, he released his second full-length album, You I Wind Land and Sea, produced by Bill Bell (Jason Mraz, Tom Cochrane) on April 13th. The album features twelve great songs including the single “My Heart is Yours” and my favorite song, “Heartless,” which was written after Justin’s brother, Christian Bridges, brought him a melody that he described as “magical.” . . . → Read More: Just Some Good Ol’ Brown Eyed Soul: Justin Nozuka’s You I Wind Land and Sea
