Bio
.. So perfectly does Julia K embody the ‘Spirit of Rock' that it's widely believed she must have been carved from purest Warsaw granite sometime in the late Creta-ceous period (well, sometime in the late 1970's anyway). But there’s far more to itthan a few sharp edges. .... For example, you don’t hear a song with the words ‘Christmas tree’ in the refrain very often... but don’t be fooled – Julia K’s debut single ‘I light up’ is no tacky Christmas record. No chestnuts roasting on an open fire here. This is a perfectly delivered, tense, yet cheeky rock song with a sound and attitude reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde, if she were 20 years younger again and took herself a little less seriously. No sprig of mistletoe in sight. .... Avoiding the cliché of ‘gutsy’ - because, 'Hello?' isn't that what’s always applied to any female singer-songwriter with an opin-ion or attitude – her sound and lyrics have an intelligence and integrity about them, with a sincere vocal whose layers will charm you one moment and shock you the next, especially live. The Dublin Castle accu-rately describe her as ‘Urgent female fronted rock - PJ Harvey fronting Smashing Pumpkins, very well executed and she can certainly sing’. Guess that sums it up! .... But it’s not all stomp and clap though. A classically trained pianist from the age of 5, Julia K’s ballads reveal a fragility which draws comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush and Tori Amos. Her shows move through changing scenes, tempos and emotions. Granite-based she may be, but one-dimensional she most certainly is not.Against the tide of a currently predomi-nantly male-dominated genre, Julia K is coming to bolster the depleted ranks of female-led British rock with genuine atti-tude… not just with brute force, or ego – but with her own authenticity. Make way Mosshart and Harvey… .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................ .. .. .. .. .. .. ...................... -

Influences
Lots! In no particular order: Jeff Buckley, Killers, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Goldfrapp, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Maximo Park, Panic! At the Disco, MGMT, Editors, The Music, We Are Scientists, Band of Horses, the Zutons, Rufus Wainwright, The Bravery, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, White Zombie........oh and that cute little "don't let me go" tune off the Citroen advert ;-P (and strangely at the moment, listening to 3 bands I *never* thought I'd like - Scissor Sisters, Coldplay and Snow Patrol...) -
Sounds Like
My own material has been compared to PJ Harvey, Smashing Pumpkins, Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, KT Tunstall, Led Zeppelin and The Music. Go figure!! My vocal sound has been compared to Chrissie Hynde, KT Tunstall, Gwen Stefani and PJ Harvey.. I just think I sound like me! But that wouldn't be much of a description! Why not have a listen and you can judge for yourself! :-)
