About Me


JULIANNE was the Philippine music industry’s breath of fresh air in 2007 when she blossomed amidst the domination of all the local bands and Bossa Nova artists at the time.
Dubbed as the Philippines’s Soul Child, she released an album entitled “Grateful” under MCA Music. This debut offering is an exhibition of JULIANNE’s spectacular voice and gift in songwriting. In 2008, she won both “Best New Female Artist” and “Best Female Artist” categories at the Awit Awards. Yet it is in JULIANNE’s live performance where she shines brightest.
Undeniably a world class act, JULIANNE performed last 16 March, 2009 at the recently concluded Mosaic Festival in Singapore.
JULIANNE has definitely come a long way from the little girl who used to record her voice using a cassette recorder at age 3. “I had my own microphone and recorder when I was a kid,” the now-25 year old (and graduate of Interior Design) recalls, “and I would make up my own songs which were all gibberish, really.”
Growing up to the tunes of the Beatles and James Taylor, she developed an interest with the guitar when she was about 9. This, she attributes to the guidance of her father who was her first musical influence being a guitarist-singer-songwriter himself. “My parents used to be in a singing group back in the 70’s. My brothers are both great guitar players as well.”
JULIANNE wrote her first song at the age of 16, inspired by the artist Jewel. “Her songs encouraged me that it was ok to be yourself and just put it out there.” Later, she discovered India Arie, Incognito, Jill Scott, and other amazing jazz/soul/folk artists. It has been a continuous introduction to different kinds of music even until now. “I always find something new to listen to every so often. I don’t really tend to lean solely towards one genre.” Her music is a mix of different musical genres and influences; a hybrid of acoustic pop, folk, jazz and soul.
JULIANNE bares her soul in every song in “Grateful”. The album has 11 tracks: Let it Rain, Empty Chairs, Healing, Unsaid, Thank you, Choose to Believe, Queen In Me, Grateful, and the carrier single Tulak ng Bibig.
“Every artist will say they want to make it internationally. I have my heart set on that too. But I will be brave in saying that I want to be able to go out there with the right intentions. With a mind and heart set to give music that is not only quality but also something that will speak mightily. One soul to another. I know this is what I was born to do. And I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I know and have experienced that music is and will always be a universal language. My desire for the music that I make is for it to touch people, no matter what age, no matter what race. I want to take it as far as it will go. All I need is a listening ear and an open heart.“
