Who is Justin York?

Justin Daniel York is the elder brother of guitarist Taylor York of Paramore and was the guitarist of Christian rock band Tait. He joined the band in 2001 when he was barely 19 years old, replacing Pete Stewart. He subsequently left the band in 2006. In early 2007 he co-produced a rock album for the band Over Ashes.

When Justin was five years old, he and his family moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he grew up in a very Christian and musically gifted family. It was his father, Peter York, himself a skilled guitarist, who taught his son the instrument.

When he was a teen, Justin York got his first major chance to play guitar professionally when Phil Joel invited him to work on his solo album. He has had numerous opportunities since then, playing for Paul Alan, Sammy Ward, Steven Curtis Chapman, Joy Williams, and Rebecca St James.

York also has a side-project called Cecil Adora, that he is involved in with Ryan Clark, and Van Beasley. As of June 2008 they are on hiatus.

In February 2010, he filled in for Josh Farro on Paramore's oceanic tour.

In September 2010, he played guitar for the band Relient K when they were supporting Paramore on their Australian Tour.
