In 2000, Justin and best friend Ashley Sellers founded Inertia Music in a living room. Since those humble beginnings, the company grew to be one of the most well-respected record labels and distributors in Australia.

His inexhaustible, enduring love of music and the relationships he invested in, personal and professional, will be his legacy.
Vale Justin Cosby.
