Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Justin Utley
 began his career as a Mormon-Contemporary singer/songwriter.

After publicly breaking ties with the Mormon Church and sending his own “self-excommunition letter”, Justin became a noted activist and advocate for civil rights and LGBT equality in the United States, and an outspoken personality against the Mormon church’s use of conversion therapy, a method Utley endured for two years after serving a two-year full-time mission for the church.

In June 2010, Utley released Stand for Something  a single written to inspire and motivate to take action towards securing LGBT equality in America, ending youth homelessness, and increasing community awareness. The single was nominated by the LGBT Academy Of Recording Arts for 4 OutMusic Awards, including Best Songwriter and Artist of the Year, winning Best Country/Folk Song of the Year.

Tonight, 11-11-11, watch a  live stream  performance of Justin singing songs from his new album. ! It
