Since the Band's first performances, they have been well received and continue to be received with much enthusiasm and appeal by audiences of all ages, and ethnic background. Proving always that music is a universal language that can be understood by any and all who cares to listen. With the help of 3 times platinum record producer Pavel Dejesus, the Band has begun to carve out their own niche in the world of Latin Rock, bringing in their own sound and originality. As one reviewer has declared on GarageBand.com, "I don't know what language she is singing, but I just want to put my dancing shoes on and rock it out! Awesome Energy!" This very same sentiment has been shared by many who have experienced JULISSA live or otherwise. It describes their music and it's objective perfectly!
The Band has had numerous successes starting with their win in the 2002 LatinoMix 105.9FM's (Now LaCalle) battle of the bands "Talento Local", giving them local notariety and succes. Being invited by promoters to open up for leading artist in various major latin festivals given throughout the the tri-state area such as the Colombian and Dominican day festivals and as well as promotional parties given by local radio stations .
