Justicia taught herself to play guitar at the age of 12 . Justicia was based on classical guitar works by Tarrega , Albeniz, Sor or Aguado . His connection to the gypsies of his home region helped Justicia learn the rhythms, rules and essence of flamenco and define his own flamenco style.

Conceptually influenced by Henry Vincent, Pepe Justicia has released eight albums so far, whose own compositions include various styles from classical flamenco, classical, jazz and pop; on the album Goldberg en flamenco he puts the Goldberg Variations in the context of flamenco. He is also with Chocolate, Enrique Morente , Rancapino, Turronero, Chano Lobato, El Capullo de Jerez, Perro de Paterna, Curro de Utrera, Gabriel Moreno, La Tati, Mariquilla, Carmen Cortes, Joaquín Grilo, Felipe Campuzano, Gerardo Núñez , Manolo Performed Sanlucar and Nina Corti .
