Canadian artist Damhnait Doyle from a song writing workshop he attended also introduced him to Universal Records. He recorded three tracks through Universal with Bill as producer, and following this, Universal requested to sign Justin to their label, but he decided he wanted to "record an album on my own, with my own freedom"
