Justin “Trenta” Renaissance

Justin Renaissance has always believed in the power of art to create meaningful change. As a child, he was deeply inspired by watching Michael Jackson use his platform to give millions to children facing hunger and hardship. That early influence shaped Justin’s lifelong commitment to service and social impact. Today, he proudly attaches a beneficiary nonprofit to every live performance, raising thousands of dollars over the past three years for local San Diego organizations focused on dignity, equality, and human community care.

A celebrated performer and advocate, Justin was recently honored as one of Hillcrest’s Most Fabulous Performers, showcased in the 2025 Red Dress Party advertising campaign, and recognized for selling the most tickets in support of the event—helping raise more than $70,000 for the San Diego HIV/AIDS Collaborative. His ability to merge music, visibility, storytelling, and fundraising has made him a trusted and effective ambassador for causes rooted in inclusion and community equity.

In just one year as a board member of The Human Dignity Foundation (HDF), Justin has set a new standard for active leadership and community engagement. His contributions span public outreach, direct support of grant-beneficiary events, and the creation and hosting of two annual fundraising showcases that spotlight local restaurants, businesses, and performers—ensuring funds raised are reinvested directly into San Diego’s nonprofit ecosystem and HIV education, awareness, and prevention efforts.

As Executive Vice President, Justin is committed to deepening HDF’s impact by strengthening nonprofit partnerships, expanding community-based programming, and inspiring collective action through music, art, education, and empowerment. With a people-first approach and a visionary mindset, he aims to lead by example and with purpose—mobilizing creativity and compassion, inspiring others to serve San Diego and build a more equitable future for all.
