Justin Roberts (musician)
Justin Roberts is a Chicago-based American singer-songwriter of children’s music. He performs with the Not Ready for Naptime Players. His album ''Jungle Gym'' was nominated in the "Best Musical Album for Children" category at the 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011.
==History==
Roberts attended Kenyon College at Gambier, Ohio, where he was a member of the Kokosingers, the college’s male a cappella group. He began his music career in the Minneapolis-based indie-rock band Pimentos for Gus, of which he was a founding member. Pimentos for Gus released three separate albums in the 1990s. Roberts decided to moonlight (during the day) as a Montessori preschool teacher. It wasn’t long before Justin began writing and singing songs for a new generation of fans: his students. The kids immediately responded and inspired Justin to record some of his new songs and send them out to a few friends for Christmas. One of the gift recipients was Liam Davis, a college pal and music producer, who suggested that they record the songs professionally
In 1998, Justin released his first CD, ''Great Big Sun'', and the critics took note. Justin’s music was soon being compared to everyone from Elvis Costello and Fountains of Wayne to Paul Simon, Electric Light Orchestra and Nick Lowe. By 2001, Justin was playing music full-time to appreciative crowds. Word spread and shows started selling out. He has played at such renowned venues and festivals as NYC’s Symphony Space, DC’s National Geographic Live, LA’s Getty Museum, Seattle’s Moore Theater, Lollapalooza and Chicago’s Ravinia Festival.
