Julia Gottlieb

Julia has always loved to sing. Born in Santa Monica, California she grew up in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts surrounded by every kind of music imaginable. She has always been eclectic in her tastes. Her early loves were Bach, Satie, Chopin, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Chet Baker, and Billie Holiday.She doesn't remember ever learning to read and write music, it has been a part of her life from early childhood. Piano lessons led naturally to voice lessons and finally a degree from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. There she expanded upon her love for Latin American and world music and learned to sing in different languages -Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew, and Italian.Julia has played with well-known musicians including Junior Mance and Buster Williams. She performs regularly with a guitar trio featuring Gilad Hekselman (guitar), Assaf Hakimi (bass), and Dan Aran (drums), and tours extensively with a hot jazz/bluegrass/western swing band, The Blue Ribbon Boys. Most recently she has made the move cross country to Los Angeles, California where she is currently performing and recording.Julia sees making music as a continuous adventure and always looks forward to learning new musical styles and playing with whatever unusual and wonderful musicians she meets on her journey.
