Hailing from San Francisco, California, Justin Ancheta is a music making, social changing, conscious spreading, teacher and artist.

Ancheta has opened for the Wailers, Creedence Clearwater Survival, Charles Neville, Ricky Skaggs, and numerous other internationally renowned artists. While attending Sacramento State University on a soccer scholarship for four years in early 2000′s, Justin studied Environmental Science and Music while fronting the acclaimed band “Sinclair” and later “Pills & Jackets”, nominated for numerous Sacramento Area Music awards as well as winning the CSUS Battle of the Bands.

Ancheta was a featured artist at the Hawaii Spirit Festival on North Shore Oahu in 2010, featured artist at San Francisco’s premier Jazz club, Yoshi’s, as well as the Red Poppy Art House, and continues his career both at home and abroad.

On his off time, Ancheta has worked and volunteered with Grid Alternatives & Bay Solar, earthship biotectures and other projects encouraging the knowledge and use of Alternative energy and simple living practices.
