Julia was absolutely amazing at our wedding! She has the most incredible voice and was so helpful and communicative in the run up to the day. We had a big list of songs we wanted and she sang them all, and others beautifully! I’m so happy. Thank you!

“Why we love Julia here at GMP: As a songwriter, Julia stood out in a big way. She puts you straight away into the heart of the song, especially with a track like “All Tied Up.” We knew we were listening to something meaningful and honest. There’s no filler with Julia. If she wants to say something, she says it and finds her own sly way of making it cool. And then there’s her voice - her vocal prowess is impressive, and it’s a complete artist that can blow you away with both lyrical chops and a killer unique voice. We were in “wow” mode the moment she began to sing that first verse. And when the chorus came in - she moved up to the top of our selection list. - Chris, Grow Music Project Staff”

Hers is the kind of songwriting that captures your attention and inspires you to want more. You'll get where we're coming from, when we say Julia is a really special artist. - Chris, Grow Music Project Staff”
