Justin Scott Lotito was born in Trenton, New Jersey to David Lotito, a site manager for a major recycling/construction business and Paula Lotito, a school teacher and super mom. He also has two younger brothers Brian and Robbie. Spending the early years of his life in Trenton, once his younger brother was born the family moved to Robbinsville, New Jersey where the family still lives. Growing up Justin was extremely invested in sports. Soccer being at the forefront, he played on multiple club teams from the age of 3 - 16. On top of soccer, he played football, track & field, basketball and baseball. In the midst of his sports, he took to his church choir when he was 11, and was instantly hooked. Balancing both sports and music became second nature until a sport-induced head injury when Justin was in 8th grade put him out of commission for 14 months, and changed everything. It was during this time he first picked up and dusted off the acoustic guitar in his room his parents had gotten him a few years prior. Instantly becoming infatuated with the instrument, he delved into music head-on playing in bands, learning every song he could, and shifting focus completely to music. In his junior year of High School he took a chance and auditioned for the school's spring musical on a bet made by his choir teacher that he wouldn't do it. After landing the role of Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, yet another shift ensued into music theatre and acting opposed to becoming the next Jason Mraz. Immediately following high school he moved to California and joined The Young Americans, a non-profit internationally touring performing arts group that puts on workshops for all ages, 6 and up, teaching them an hours worth of material spanning hip hop dances, choral medleys, acting pieces that they put on for audience members after only three days. This group took Justin to 21 countries over 4 continents from 2011-2015 over the course of 12 three-month long tours. It was during this time Justin refined his skills as a triple threat training in dance, voice, acting, and live performance from master teachers all throughout the industry. Currently, Justin lives in Los Angeles running the marathon race that is Hollywood & the Film industry.
