Justin Bieber is working on new music with guitarist Mk.gee

Justin Bieber sounds like he's about to release new music for the first time in over three years… because he's hit the studio with a guitar hero.

Justin has just become a father for the first time and is now working with a highly respected indie musician Mk.gee.

The rising artist is the subject of a new New York Times profile, where he's hailed as an “unlikely guitar god” chasing the “promise of pop” … and in the interview, Mk.gee reveals he's collaborating with the Biebs.

Mk.gee says he has been writing and recording new music with Justin, who he says is “looking” for a new sound.

It's been three years since Justin last released music, with his 2021 album “Justice” … and Mk.gee says of JB: “Everything that comes out of his mouth: that's pop music.”

It sounds like Justin and Mk.gee are putting together some jams… Mk.gee says they're working on “pretty wild stuff”… no word on a potential release date yet, though.

Justin's collaborator here is already well known in the music industry … with Eric Clapton even went so far as to compare Mk.gee with a young prince.
