Juliet Russell

Hello, I'm Juliet and I have been writing songs since I was a dot. I've only just recorded these new songs acoustically so I hope you like them. The thought behind them is to create a set of modern torch songs, that have a strong melodic narrative and represent me in my world as it is right now or has recently been, with a bit of drama thrown in for good measure... (which is usually lurking in my life somewhere).I usually write about people and subjects that are close to my heart. Lazy is a tribute to my bed, which in my experience is one of the most comfortable places on earth. Everything's Changed is set in a smoky bar and mentions the punks of birdland - starlings (www.iheartstarlings.com - doesn't exist, but it should) and Damn, You're Gorgeous is pretty self -explanatory.I run my own music company, Sense of Sound (www.senseofsound.net - that does exist), which means I spend all my time working with music, which I love. The people I run it with are also amazing artists. Check out the lovely Jenny on www.myspace.com/jenniferjohn. Sense of Sound is a fabulously creative business which is dedicated to singing. We run courses, train individuals, create projects, run events and work with some amazing artists, including our very own Sense of Sound Choir. We are up for collaborating and experimenting so please get in touch if you have any inspiring ideas or just want to find out more about us.My favourite artists tend to be people who experiment and are progressive and who have their own individual style such as Bjork, N.E.R.D., Antony and the Johnsons, Outcast, Beck, Sigur Ros, Rufus Wainright etc. I have been lucky enough to work with some fab people as a singer and a voice coach, including M.I.A, Ray Lamontagne, Alex Paterson (The Orb and Transit Kings), Dominic Miller (Sting's guitarist) and Aadesh Shrivastava (Bollywood Composer)I am really enjoying writing and performing my new songs at the moment and would like to connect with other artists with a complimentary style for joint gigs, tours, events etc., promoters and event organisers and also animation and film makers for possible collaboration.Thanks for looking at my space and wishing you love and whatever you'd wish for yourself xx
