Heading: Biography

Body (3rd person, EPK style):
Justin Cepeda is an artist manager and label operator based in Seattle, Washington. He specializes in artist development, record-label operations, and music-strategy consulting, with a focus on independent electronic artists.

As the founder of J. Culture MGMT, Justin guides artists through branding, release planning, live performance strategy, and long-term career design. He also runs Low House Records, a house-focused imprint that supports emerging producers with thoughtful releases and community-driven curation.

Before transitioning fully into management, Justin spent more than a decade in tech and digital operations. That systems mindset — problem-solving, organization, and process design — now shapes his management style. He builds clear structures around creative work, so artists can make confident decisions without losing sight of their wellbeing.

Through his parallel brand, The Mindful Artist Manager, Justin advocates for emotionally intelligent decision-making in music careers, helping artists and managers navigate the industry with more clarity, balance, and long-term vision. J. Culture MGMT
