.. MY RELEASE ..

Jully was born on July, 3rd,in the city of Santos, SP, Brazil. When she was 12, almost 13 years, her interest in the drums has begun. In 1992 she has started her music studies, in a music school in Santos, where she stayed until 1994. During that time Jully decided to improve her knowledge and started to dedicate herself to master the double bass pedal technique, and with that in mind, she started studying in the drumming school and studied for the next 7 years.

In 1994, along with some of her friends, she started a Trash Metal band called Excruciation, formed only by women. The band recorded 2 albums and toured through several Brazilian cities, getting very good reviews and excellent reception from the specialized media (like the Brazilian magazines Rodie Crew, Rock Brigade, Planet Metal and others). In 1996 Jully participated of the 2° Lesson Batuka – a National Drumming Competition, organized by the Drummer Vera Figueiredo. Jully has been the first woman to participate of that competition, fact yet to be matched by any other woman. This has granted Jully a great deal of experience, since she was running against many other very experienced drummers from all over Brazil.

In 1998 Jully had the privilege to be the opening act of a concert from the English band Napalm Death, it’s been an unforgettable experience for her, for, at the time, they were her biggest influence. In the same year the band came to an end.

Having as her biggest goal, to become a musician of great success and renown, not only in Brazil, but also abroad, Jully is still working hard, devoting herself to her studies, always trying to enhance her knowledge, attending drum workshops whenever she can and trying to learn whatever she can with other great drummers. She has already studied with Mauricio Leite, Duda Neves, Ivan Busic, Ricardo Confessori, Aquiles Priester, among other exceptional drummers.

In 2001, with the support of her instructor Arthur, Jully has started teaching drum lessons for beginning and intermediate students at the school that belonged to her instructor.

In 2002, July has formed the Hard Rock band called Rocks Hollywood, where she covers hits from the Classic and Hard rock of the 80’s, touring many famous nightclubs of the region.

In 2008 Jully appeared in the issue number 66 of the Modern Drummer Brasil magazine, another great opportunity for her to show her work.

Nowadays Jully is teaching at Live Studio, in Santos, SP, Brazil, and is working with the band Rocks Hollywood, soon to enter studio to record their first album (No title has been decided up to this moment). Jully always amazes everybody with her way of playing and with her stage performance, astonishing the audience. Being the only child of a working class family, she’s persistent and fights for what she believes, striving to achieve her goals, knowing that she has the talent and the dedication, fact stated time and again by drumming experts that could watch her performing live. She refuses to give up and awaits an opportunity to reach new heights.
