I would describe my sound with the words: honest, intense, reckless, french touch and eclectic.
I am influenced by artists such as Izzy Bizzu, Lady Gaga, Jade Bird, or even French artists such as Angèle, Yseult, and Jain.
I usually write songs with the piano or the guitar. First I found the chords I like and I improvise with my voice on top of it. Once I found the structure and my main melody I sing random words. Then I write my lyrics according to the sound I come up with. These random words give me a theme or a story to follow.
It was the first album of Mika called «Life in Cartoon Motion » released in 2007.
When I was young I get the chance to take part in a kids band. We recorded an album of classical covers. This project aimed to make classical music accessible to children. Each cover of a classical piece is followed by the original one.
I would love to go on tour with Izzy Bizzu. I love her voice and her songwriting, she is a genuine artist. Also, she always delivers a professional and authentic show.
My dream team band would be, Cyril Atef at the drums, Marcus Miller at the bass, John Mayer at the guitar, and Chilly Gonzales at the keys.
I would describe my live show as an energetic, intense, organic, fun and musical show.
I usually do breathing exercises or a bit of mediation before going on stage. This ritual helps me to focus on my future performance and relax all my muscles in order to deliver
the best performance.
I would love to receive a massage, a hairstyle and a makeup before each performance.
The most embarrassing song I love listening, especially at then elf a party is a French tune “Parle à ma main” by Fatal Bazooka featuring Yaelle.
I am a massive fan of Jaffa cakes. During my studio sessions, I could eat at least forty of them.
They can mostly find me on Instagram at @Julietsenmusic or Facebook. You can find my music on major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Deezer, or iTunes and Youtube.
