Dear supporters,

Life has been busy and unpredictable, and I am riding the roller coaster and enjoying the the peaks while rolling with the valleys. I hope that you are all doing well! Here we are in the fall of 2024 and I haven't reached out to you since the beginning of this year.
It has been a good year of shows and recordings with a new album on the horizon, which will be released on online platforms before the end of 2024. Stay tuned.
Thank you so much for listening to my songs and for supporting my musical journey! I am working on increasing my YouTube presence with a goal of getting a 1,000 subscribers. Check it out, and if you like the content, consider subscribing to my channel. I promise you that I will not hound you with emails and and will only update you when something big happens.
In the meantime, enjoy the journey we call life with all its offerings and challenges, opportunities for growth and self reflection. May we all make it a better world for future generations in the way that we present ourselves and act in our communities and in the way we respect and cherish our beautiful planet Earth.

Musically yours,

Julie

Happy Fall!

I know I’m not alone in being relieved that 2020 is finally over. However, this year has already started with a bang, but I hope that we are headed towards a period of healing, mentally, emotionally and physically and that by the end of the year, we are able to hug our loved ones and friends again. I look forward to performing live by the end of this year too and continuing to record my new album of originals.

I want to thank you so much for staying with me during this year, for listening and for your feedback. I enjoy connecting with my audience. As a musician, I use my voice to connect, heal and educate. It’s so touching to hear when my music has done so!

I wish you all a productive, safe and positive year. I look forward to solving the challenges this year brings on all levels.

Musically yours,
Julie

Dear Music Lovers,

I hope that you are all staying positive and productive during these trying times. I am thinking about all of you and wishing you peace, patience and perseverance. I hope that we come out a better community on the other side of this and continue to treat each other with love, consideration. This too shall pass. I am very thankful for all of you who may be working to make our lives easier in any way possible, whether you are a clerk in a grocery store or a doctor saving lives.

Thank you for all your support and for your feedback on my music. I love receiving your little notes. If you would like more music, check out my page on Spotify at (expired link), and check out my website for more information and for the new blog at (expired link). I welcome your comments and participation in the Blog.

Music is healing, so use it to escape, calm, soothe and to inspire. It's also a great way to support musicians.

Musically yours,

Julie

Dear subscribers,

I am very grateful for your support. After all, without your support, music would eventually die out. February is usually the toughest month in winter, especially in places where winter is harsh. We are usually ready for spring and rebirth, and though it's the shortest month of the year, sometimes it feels like it's the longest. I hope that music has made it easier to bear.

Keep on smiling and let music be a cathartic and healing experience in your life.

Musically yours,
Julie

Dear Subscribers,

Thank you so much for following me and supporting my music! I am currently working on recording a new album of originals with my amazing band, and we are very excited about it.
Here is one of the songs that will be featured on this album, this one co-written with Hugo King. Hugo is an Austin composer who came to my shows and enjoyed them. A year later, he came to me with a proposal to record a song that he had written for me. He was very generous, accepting my feedback on it and allowing me to tweak the lyrics and melody to make it my own. It is called N'essaye Pas (Don't You Dare) and is the story of a woman in an unhealthy relationship, who finally stands up for herself and tells her lying partner that she can no longer accept his lies. No more chances! Here is the link to stream it on Spotify:

I hope you enjoy it! Be well and choose love over fear!

Musically yours,
Julie

Hi all,

I took some time off for a couple of months from social media. I hope you are all enjoying the first signs of spring. Thank you for being such great supporters! I hope to see some of you this coming Wednesday, at The Skylark Lounge, for a Mediterranean Jazz Happy Hour. My friend, and amazing vocalist, Ali Pervez, will be sitting with us on a couple of songs. We also have a new member in our band, conga player Tony Marino.
Spring is a time for change, renewal and rebirth. Let's shed that winter cloak that protected us from the cold, and let us bloom again! Time flies, so enjoy the moment!
