**Justin Edward Sullivan** (born 8 April 1956) is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He is also the lead vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter of English rock band [New Model Army](/source/New_Model_Army_(band)),[1] which he formed in 1980 together with drummer [Robert Heaton](/source/Robert_Heaton) and bassist Stuart Morrow in their hometown of [Bradford](/source/Bradford), West Yorkshire. In the early 1980s he performed under the stage name of "Slade the Leveller",[2] referring to the political movement of the [Levellers](/source/Levellers). His parents are [Quaker](/source/Quakers).[3][4]

Apart from his regular New Model Army studio albums, he has released two live albums with New Model Army material together with various members of the band capturing their off-duty tours, namely *Big Guitars in Little Europe* together with Dave Blomberg in 1995 and *Tales of the Road* together with Dean White and Michael Dean under the name Justin Sullivan & Friends in 2004. He was also a member of Red Sky Coven, which he co-founded, with Rev Hammer, [Joolz Denby](/source/Joolz_Denby) and Brett Selby. He collaborated with Denby and Heaton on the studio album *Hex* (1987), which put music to Denby's poetry, and then recorded "Weird Sister" and "Spirit Stories", also putting music to Denby's poetry.[citation needed]

In 2003, Sullivan debuted as a solo artist with the studio album *Navigating by the Stars*. His songs "Tales of the Road", "White Lights", "Lullaby", "Navigating by the Stars" have been [remixed](/source/Remix) by Christoph H. Mueller ([Gotan Project](/source/Gotan_Project)) and added to the pre-release soundtrack of *Exilée*, a thriller by [Nemo Sandman](/source/Nemo_Sandman) (with Denby), director of *Wonderful Way to Go* and other videos and stills for NMA.
