“It’s not many artists who learn to play the blues in a dream, but for Golden, the music had been percolating in his subconscious for years before he started playing. Sleeping late at Bonnaroo some years back, he woke up from a dream with a blues fingerpicking pattern in his head, a seminal moment that sparked a lifelong commitment to the music.” (excerpt from his site)

We were honored to have Justin share his music with us in 2025 and we’re excited to welcome him back in 2026!

She draws inspiration from the broad African diaspora and African American culture, art and traditions, infusing each doll with vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and cultural references.
