At 14, Julia started writing songs and performing at local folk clubs. Soon after, she was invited to be a guest singer with the UK\u2019s National Youth Jazz Orchestra, which sparked a lifelong love of the genre. On her highly acclaimed second album,\xa0Porcelain, two original jazz songs \u201cFor You, Only For You\u201d and \u201cChina Blue\u201d were featured along with the hits \u201cManhattan Skyline\u201d and \u201cLock and Key.\u201d
In 1992, \u201cLove Moves\u201d (from her third album\xa0Swept), was chosen as the theme song for\xa0The Butcher\u2019s Wife, starring Demi Moore, and became a big hit in the UK, US, and the Philippines.
Four of Julia\u2019s albums have been produced by Grammy winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock, Madeleine Peyroux). Her 2005 live CD (That\u2019s Life) and DVD (That\u2019s Live), features Klein as producer and bass player as part of an all-star band including the Academy Award-winning trumpet player/composer, Mark Isham. On the soulful song (from the album of the same name) \u201cConcrete Love,\u201d Julia performs a stunning duet with another Grammy winner, India.Arie.
After 2004\u2019s devastating tsunami struck in Asia, Julia became intimately involved in a charity project to help rebuild a school in India, by donating the proceeds from a \u201cHappy Ever After\u201d remix. It featured a children\u2019s choir from England. This beautiful production brought Julia back full circle to the place where she first started writing and performing as a teenager.
In 2007, Julia\u2019s\xa0Baby Love\xa0EP, a set of unconditional love songs dedicated to her daughter, Marley Rose, was released.
