Julie E Gordon. Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Composer. Influenced by a number of artists/writers/producers - Have worked as lead and backing Vocalist amongst the likes of the McCleod brothers at Moolah Rouge Studios, Richard Sirling (Smooth FM), Sunny Levine, (Producer of Unkle Dysfunctional Happy Mondays) This Feeling, Jersey Budd, Tom (Kasabian), Big Finn, Womack & Womack, RSL,(Nominees for BBC Worldwide Music) Grand Central - Mark Rae & Christian, The Speakeasy Collective, Single Cell Collective (Caulbearers),and the noted Happy Mondays..
Julie began her singing career at a very early age! With a natural ear for music she begun singing and songwriting from the age of nine taking influence from her cultural background, school and church. Self taught in piano during her early years. Originally from Dudley West Midlands she moved to Manchester at the age of 19 to complete a Bachelors Degree in Media & Performing Arts. Finding herself without the comfort of familiar surroundings, her interest in music became more intense at 22 she started doing an open mic night at the local music venue where the owner introduced her to a collective of musicians. It was with this collective of talented and older musicians, called Speakeasy, Mark Rae & Christian (Grand Central) that was to form the bench mark for her 'musical education' introducing her to the technique of jamming while opening up a world of new music and ideas. Grand Central slowly desponded with members moving away marking an end of an era for the singer's early singing career.
It was while studying for her degree Julie decided to use her skills as a lead and backing vocalist to a local band largely influenced by Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz. This in hand allowed for industries to notice, to then offer her recordings as well as features with the likes of Grand Central, RSL (BBC Worldwide Music Nominees), Bigg Finn, and currently, the Noted Happy Mondays. It was with this new line up Julie begun to refine her skills as a singer, songwriter and performer working with a vast array of musicians and producers in the process.
Julie has performed and recorded extensively over the course of 8 years touring Japan, Europe and the UK.
Since touring Julie has embarked on a solo career. A host of collaborations are in the pipeline, and also her interest in developing her solo experimental, vocal set ensued in which she calls ‘‘The Yellow Brick Road’’
