I've been playing guitar since I was 14. I taught myself by exploring the neck, strumming strings, and pounding on them without an amp. My dad saw my talent and taught me to pick up things by ear, taking my playing to the next level. I learned the pentatonic scale on my own and played bass in my first band. Over the years, I played in several bands, including Decent, which played Metallica covers and wrote original music. Now, I'm part of a two-member project called Market Zero, working remotely, and enjoying every moment. Music is my life, and I plan on making new memories and moments in the future.
I am always on the lookout for new music, and my current inspirations are punk rock and garage rock bands. I love exploring old & new artists, and some of my favorites include the NOFX, The Fights, and Nine Inch Nails
Growing up in the 80s, Justin was inspired by the likes of Dire Straits, Peter Gabriel, and Iggy Pop. Later, he found himself drawn to the energy of Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, and Presidents of the United States of America. It was during his teenage years that he discovered pop punk, and delved deep into the music of NOFX and Blink 182. By 18, indie rock had captured his heart, with bands like Modest Mouse and Built to Spill topping his playlist.
It's Justin's passion for punk rock, however, that truly shines through in Market Zero's music. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Minor Threat and Bad Brains, Justin infuses our sound with an authentic, gritty edge that sets us apart from other rock bands. Without Justin's creativity and vision, Market Zero simply wouldn't be the same.
Market Zero is a rock band that burst onto the music scene just three years ago. Originating from the dynamic duo of Joey Owens and Justin Casey, they quickly made a name for themselves with their distinctive sound and energy. Getting the attention of KXT 91.7 getting regular rotation on their first two singles.
As they continued to evolve, Market Zero has grown into an ensemble of talented singers, songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, and producers.
Today, at the heart of Market Zero are Justin Casey and Joey Owens. Their combined prowess and dedication have become the backbone of the band's signature sound.
But Market Zero isn't just about creating foot-tapping numbers; they're focused on producing music that engages the mind and spirit.
Drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of life experiences and current events, their mission is not just to entertain, but also to provoke thought and inspire listeners to make a positive impact in the world.
