Justin Nozuka: Be Back Soon

As mentioned earlier this week, Stop Okay Go is the 3rd stop on Justin Nozuka's innovative Virtual Blog Tour. The video above is an exclusive performance of the song Be Back Soon off of his new album, Holly.

At only 19 years old, the gifted New York-born and Toronto raised singer-songwriter is already making a huge splash. He has had the #1 Most Played Video on VH1 for 9 weeks and was recently tapped as VH1's "You Oughta Know" artist.

From his All Music Guide Profile:

The maturity of Justin Nozuka's music, a soulful blend of R&B and pensive singer/songwriter folk that recalls both Nick Drake and Lauryn Hill, belies his tender years: Nozuka was only 18 when his debut album was released. The son of a Japanese father and American mother (actress Holly Sedgwick, who coincidentally happens to be Kyra Sedgwick's sister).

Nozuka will be touring with the Gabe Dixon Band all across the U.S. Tourdates after the jump. Be sure to check out his next video stops on his iLike page Thursday and on Seattlest on Friday.
