Gusto mo bang sumakay sa Light Rail Transit Line 1. The music features transitions between a violin, a trumpet, and a piano. The song is described as, according to his classmates.
A strong example that I fearless leap into a multitude of musical genres, daring to explore folk, jazz and musical theatre all within a single track. This ambitious bridging of styles could lead to disaster, but I have mastered the skill, mirroring not only the sound, but also the lyrical content of each genre: InLight Rail Transit Line 1, for example, they encourage to ride the train because its so fast and cold air conditioners. In conjunction with songs that often speak to very foundational human emotions and fragilities, this may be what is most compelling about Justin's music, and what allows the band's songs to resonate with audiences both young and old.
