We had the pleasure of interviewing Justin Champagne over Zoom video!
Justin Champagne was born and raised in New Iberia, Louisiana, and he is known for his genre bending music rooted in the sounds, stories, and swampy swagger of his home turf. His father passed away when he was six ears old, leaving his mother to juggle multiple jobs to help provide for the family. Her tireless work ethic inspired Justin, who started recording his first songs as a teenager. Meanwhile, the loss of his father - an amateur musician - shaped his own approach to music. Justin was determined to chase down the creative milestones that would have made his dad proud. He began making music that was diverse and driven, collaborating with multi-platinum rapper Kevin Gates one minute and then recording his own pop-influenced songs the next.
Everything changed in 2016, when Justin Champagne wrote "Sun Goes Down." A breakup anthem filled with hip-hop beats, countritied guitar riffs, soaring vocal hooks, and rhythmic rapping, "Sun Goes Down" was the first song to embrace the full range of Justin's musical tastes. Unsurprisingly, the song became a hit, earning more than a million streams on Spotify after its release, and laying the foundation for a unique, trendsetting career.
Today, Justin Champagne has brought in over 50 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music platforms since his first release and continues to be streamed by more than 650k fans monthly. His Youtube videos have also been viewed more than 40 million times! By combining a variety of different sounds together, Champagne created something new: a boundary-breaking genre that showcased not only the depth of his influences, but also his versatility as a songwriter, storyteller, vocalist, and rapper.
Expect more releases from Justin Champagne in 2023 as he just signed a million-dollar record deal with ONErpm.
