Born and raised in Birmingham, England, this classically trained artist composes and arranges her own music. Influenced by legends such as Nancy Wilson, Abbey Lincoln, and Bob Marley, as well as popular icons Omar and Sade, Julie takes classic soul to the heart of Artistry
Fans and critics across the globe have followed her journey through the circles of Jazz, Soul, Broken-Beat, Bossa-Nova, Reggae and Afro-Beat. Her dynamic voice was first heard in 1994 on "The Jamaican Beat" Vol I with Jazz Jamaica.

toured several continents as Ambassadors for the British Council winning numerous international a wards and
released their debut on Dune Records in 1997.
