According to his father, Ken, Justin played the piano since the age of 6 and began to compose music in the 4th grade.
"It's unreal; I'd say he works a good 100 hours a week. When he's composing, he never goes to bed before 2am,” Ken Hurwitz to TODAY’S TMJ4 after the Golden Globes wins.
In the past two months, Hurwitz has picked up a handful of critics' awards and a BAFTA along with those two Golden Globe Awards.
