Justine has been singing professionally for over 30 years now and has worked extensively in theatres and on national TV, she is also a much sought-after session vocalist for some of the biggest record labels in the UK.
In her early career, she could be seen treading the familiar cabaret scene as a dynamic vocalist and could boast of knowing over 5000 songs, becoming a human juke box at venues.
In 2002 her career would change direction. After winning ITV’s “Stars in Their Eyes” as Anastacia, her tribute show “Justine is Anastacia” was in great demand and she spent the next 6 years performing as her around the world. When Anastacia stopped releasing albums and her popularity waned, it was time to change direction again.
Having been told on many occasions she really sounded like Tina Turner, Justine set herself the challenge to become the closest copy she could be. But this was going to take some transformation! After hours of scrutinising video footage, watching mannerisms and movements, hand-making the all-important wig, deciding which costumes to copy, and listening to patterns and hundreds of versions of the same songs from different decades, Totally TINA was created.
