The Project

Justin Lyons, best known as GuitarSlayer, is a Dallas-based guitarist and producer, who has dedicated the greater part of the last three decades to harnessing the healing power of music. He draws inspiration from a lineage of tradition and love, and while allowing God to be his guiding force. Intrigued by his fatherʼs infatuation with the guitar, and his motherʼs molding and direction of how to approach the guitar, Justin Lyons would follow in their footsteps. With his roots firmly planted in the Gospel and Blues scenes for the longest time, today, Justin has branched out into RnB, Jazz, Hip Hop and even K-Pop. The sum of his influences continues to grow along with his notoriety as an accomplished musician. Justin seeks to create a vibe that evokes introspective feelings of self-expression, emancipation from mental slavery, self awareness and self love. Everything he creates comes from a place with pure intention, and his music serves as a vehicle through which he can express his stories, his travels, all while spreading the love .
