Julianna was born in 1980 in Budapest, Hungary. She got close to music and singing at primary school, where she also played the classical piano. After finishing high school, she graduated at the Faculty of Public Relations of College of International Management and Business Studies. Meanwhile, she returned to music and learned jazz singing for two years from two Hungarian jazz singers – Bea Munkácsi and Gábor Winand. After the College, she post-graduated at the Jazz Faculty of Hungarian Music Academy in 2007 as the student of Tamás Berki.
Julianna has been on stage since the second year of her jazz studies. Despite her relatively short presence in jazz life, she had the honour to sing with many great musicians and jazz bands – such as István Gyárfás Trió, Aladár Pege Quartet, Budapest Jazz Orchestra, Freestyle Chamber Orchestra, Coolmen Trio, Erik Sumo Band and many more. Her new band -Fábián Juli Jazz Riff- was founded this summer, playing mainly own compositions and pop coverages. The band’s very first appearance was the warming-up concert of Kenny Garrett’s show.
She is the singer of the electronic-based jazz-hip-hop-drum&base-raggie band Barabás Lorinc Eklektric, which played as the warm-up band of the world-known trumpet player Eric Truffaz. This year, Julianna was finalist of the Shure Voice Competition of Montreux Jazz Festival. Besides, she teaches jazz singing, she has studio works and writes articles for EMI’s Hungarian quarterly (Hangjegyzet). Her utmost ambition is to gain inspiration from all kinds of music, never stop learning and developing herself and her art, while letting herself be touched by others’ soul and art. She has many symbols, ways to follow such as Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby McFerrin, Eliane Elias and many more.
