Julia did not grow up Orthodox. Raised in a loving, secular Jewish home in Beverly Hills, Julia began music lessons at age three. She soon added dance, voice, and acting classes, leading to a childhood performing career by age twelve. She excelled at Beverly Hills High School before graduating Cum Laude with Distinction from Yale University, attending Harvard University along the way, and later earning her MFA from USC's prestigious Peter Stark Producing Program.

Following college, Julia began exploring her Jewish identity and ultimately chose to fully embrace Orthodox Judaism, a transformation that reshaped her life and deepened her perspective as an artist. She released two albums of original music, Stand Tall (1990) and Songs of the Heart (1998), and performed for tens of thousands of women across the U.S. and abroad.

After stepping back to raise her children, Julia returned to recording in 2023. She and her husband built a home studio, where Julia wrote, produced, and recorded her most ambitious album to date, featuring eighteen new lyric-driven songs.

Julia creates each song from beginning to end, writing all the lyrics, notating extensive instrumental and vocal parts, and then performing and producing each track.

Julia is driven to create positive impact through inspirational, meaningful, and uplifting content. She invites listeners of all backgrounds to experience her music, which is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.
