Julianne

Julianne’s music is unique as it expresses how she really is as an artist and as a person -- honest and sincere. Her songs speak from the heart and soul. Amidst all the hype of bands and other music trends, she is the artist that will fill the void and set a new trend in Philippine music. Julianne is not your usual songstress. Her far-from-typical groove and charisma never cease to wow her audience. She devoted most of her life unfolding as a musician and songwriter and now, her music has evolved into her own.

For 2007, MCA Music set itself to launch their very first local/OPM artist who will take things to another level and introduce a brand of music that’s different from the usual fare that we are used to hearing in radio. And MCA did exactly that by releasing the debut album by newcomer Julianne entitled Grateful, featuring the certified hit single “Tulak Ng Bibig,” and her succeeding releases such as "Grateful" and "Queen in Me" which is currently hitting different radio charts nationwide.

Her music is a mix of different musical genres and influences; a hybrid of acoustic pop, folk, R & B, jazz and neo-soul. Her album is comprised of nine tracks Julianne wrote herself plus stripped down renditions of “Tulak Ng Bibig” and the title track. Majority of the album was produced by veteran R & B artist and Freestyle member Mike Luis while two standout tracks (“Unsaid” and “Healing”) were produced by Dan Gil of Chillitees. Veteran musicians Mark Escueta, Rommel dela Cruz, Wendell Garcia, Sach Castillo, Daniel Crisologo and Dexter Aguila, among many others contributed their talents to this album. Other favorites in the album include “Empty Chairs,” “Thank You,” “Queen in Me,” “Choose to Believe” and the title track.

Julianne who started singing and playing piano and guitar at a very early age has Indie Arie, Jewel, Jill Scott and the Beatles among her musical influences. But her biggest musical influence is probably from within her family. Her dad who was a singer/songwriter, a pianist and guitarist himself while her two brothers are also into music. She started out with different bands and acoustic groups before realizing that she had written promising material on her own as inspired by her dreams and experiences. And now, she is busy promoting her new album on TV, radio and the live circuit.

Since she has been launched her debut album Grateful, she has quickly turned as musical artist’s artist, a real favorite among her peers in the music industry and is now known as the country’s OPM SOULCHILD.
