Justine Chantale

Since the tender age of 8 years old, Justine Chantale loved to sing. Her first performance was at her school talent show, which her mother desperately tried to talk her out of to save her the embarassment. Since then, she sang in the school choir until she began to play the guitar at 14 years of age where she began to play at her highschool coffee house once she knew a few simple chords to cover her favourite songs. She wrote her first song shortly after, which was inspired by a boy she had a not so secret crush on and from that moment, realized that she wanted to write music which strikes a chord with those who are willing to listen. Once graduating highschool, Justine went to university where music was put on hold while she learned the unique art and science of Nursing however, during her second year, she attended a local open mic with the school and fell back in love with music. Since then she won Conestoga College's Singer Songwritter Competition for her song, "Free", and later performed at the school's Volunteer Appreciation Gala. She then had the honor to perform a cover of "Time of my Life" at her Graduating Class' Pinning Ceremony which left most of her fellow classmates and teachers in tears. In 2013, Justine took a chance and ventured off to London, Ontario to a local Open Mic and connected with local musicians who not only shared the same style of songwritting, but also appreciated her style of music as she did theirs. Since then she has released her first EP, Stepping Stones, as well as played in various venues across Southern Ontario with no intention on slowing down. Justine Chantale is a young country artist from the small rural community of Wellesley, Ontario,
