Julia is a startling beauty with a curvaceous figure at 5-7 with medium brown hair and light-brown eyes.

Her trio of musicians accompanied her masterfully and her stage presence and delivery was enchanting. Her selection of songs, phrasing, and voice character displayed her versatility and all in all, her performance was simply magical! Julias sophisticated look brings a sensational entertainment package to the stage every time, which without a doubt will prove to be her biggest asset.

Julia has continually displayed her vocal versatility while singing songs ranging from Ol Black Magic and I Concentrate on You in the traditional jazz genre to show tunes like Alfie, People and Home. She also displays versatility with spicy versions of hip R & B tunes like If I Aint Got You, Chain of Fools, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, River Deep, Mountain High and Simply the Best. Julia realizes it is only a matter of time before music moguls discover her and history will be written once again with her name etched in stone next to all the musical giants. After all, how can she miss when destiny has already determined that SHES A STAR!
