   About grace and julian
Our New Bandmates: Jayme Silverstein (Bass) and Adam Jackson (Drums)!

Separated by a mere piano room while living at a NYU freshmen dorm, Grace Weber and Julian Waterfall Pollack discovered that not only do they express mutual affection for jazz music, they were also born on the same day, the same year. Both had also taken awards at the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts (NFAA), a national organization that promotes the arts for the youth. Acknowledging their commonalities as a sign, the two quickly became friends and started writing music together. Within the year, Grace and Julian had completed thirteen songs and had begun to record at Avatars Studios (NY) under the direction of renowned vocal instructor, Bruce Kolb, who has taught and trained vocalists from the Metropolitan Opera to Broadway, including Tony Award winners Glenn Close and Liza Minelli.

Before coming together for this self-titled album, which fuses a fresh blend of pop, jazz, adult-contemporary, R&B, and gospel influences, both Grace and Julian already had a decently wide fan-base doing solo work. Pollack's dynamically forward and technically ferocious piano playing had garnered the attention of many of his peers on the west coast, as well as earning praises from jazz legends such as Albert "Tootie" Heath. In "Tootie's" words, "I want to be the first to say it: Julian is a genius." Grace, on the other hand, is no less accomplished. At the age of 18, she had already performed with the likes of Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, and Patti Austin, appearing on the same stage at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA, as they honored John Mathis for the Ella Award.

Not wanting to wait around for a label deal, Grace and Julian released their self-titled album under their own label, Junebeat Records. With the shift in the industry of CD sales declining, and digital sales taking over, the duo believes strongly in marketing one's own music through playing shows and spreading the music through word-of-mouth. These days, Grace and Julian are playing gigs constantly in the New York area. From restaurants to private shows, they have captured audience after audience. Through years of performing live, the duo has a vast repertoire of songs memorized and can sight-read almost flawlessly on the spot.

Hi babe,

sorry about that I must have told you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like things and stuff instead of money.

But anyways, the correct site is

T O P S 4 5 . C O M

it's the one I am cashing $600 a week with putting in about 22 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.

After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the big bucks, I got $55 for one that took me 25 minutes today. You'll see what I'm rambling about when you start up.

Brit started taking them too and she's making $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Timmy are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
bye
