In 2004, as freshman at the University of California Riverside, Sean (Smoov) McBride of Los Angeles, Eric (Smokey) Tucker of San Diego, and Jared (JayB) Baisley of San Francisco, began to write songs amongst themselves. Soon their music caught the ear of a local producer who felt that the young men had something more to offer. It wasn’t long until this group of college buddies began to call themselves “Jus-t’us”. After a number of studio sessions and the recruitment of an up and coming management team, Jus-t’us released their first self-titled album in the fall of 2005. In the years that followed, the three slowly matured and began to shy away from the conventional sounds of the day and began to focus on a melodic and orchestral feel. This experimentation led the trio to work with Warner Brothers in the scoring and production of the feature film “Traces of Tragedy” in 2007. After a brief hiatus, the group felt led to once again explore a new direction. This time the trio would extend its arms to the musical stylings of a full band; embracing the control and wonder of live musicianship.
2009 is truly the year of Jus-t’us. Already dubbed “MySpace Artist of The Week,” songs such as “Butterflies” and “Sunshine” solidify this talented bunch as a force to be reckoned with. Surely it is no wonder why they refer to themselves as “the past, the present, and the future.”
