"It is such an honor to be invited by the Recording Academy to serve as a GRAMMY U mentor!" explains Justin.

"When I first started in music, I always wished there was someone I could turn to for industry advice, insight, feedback, etc. I had to brave it alone and learn the ropes. When invited to the Recording Academy, one of my goals was to make an impact and make a difference. I want to help support and foster the aspirations of my mentee (a student at Loyola University New Orleans). The journey, opportunities, and successes of the program will be documented and shared across the @recordingacademy."

Justin Garner looks forward to this opportunity and making a difference by inspiring our community's youth! #GRAMMYU
