Julien Thompson, a 22-year old Bahamian native.
Ever heard about conch salad? If not its a delight indigenous to the islands of The Bahamas. This is how you would describe Juliens sound mixed up but just right .The secret remedy for this is some Bob Marley, Bahamen, Beres Hammond, Ronnie Butler a little bit of Marvin Gaye,with some Michael Jackson.These are the greats that influenced the structure the style Juliens created. His blend has created a fresh new hypnotic sound.At the young age of 8-years old Julien’s parents noticed he had raw talent and started enrolling him into local talent shows to cultivate his God given talent. These experiences set Julien on the path to become not only a singer but an entertainer. It wasn’t always perfect. Julien had many many setbacks but nevertheless he was determined. He kept striving to be what he dreamt and overcame every obstacle life threw at him.
At the age of 11 he joined the R&B group EDJ. The singing group got an opportunity to not only meet but live with Monique 'The Queen of Comedy' in Los Angeles.
Being blessed with the Queen of comedy, EdJ got the opportunity to audition for Sony Records, Susan Depasse, Bad Boy,Epic Records,Michael Stokes,Billy Moss, and Universal Records. Weeks after these once in a lifetime opportunities on the verge of success EDJ split.As a result it left Julien discouraged forcing him to go back home to the tranquil islands of the Bahamas to work sacrifice his dream just to stop his mother from working two jobs to afford his little brothers school. As time flew Julien allowed his music to become secondary but made it primary when he found out he had the chance to open for the Queen of Comedy in August 07.
After the show while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the beach Monique gave the six foot two island prince a bit of advice "believe your a star because you are and your stopping yourself from shining". It hit Julien like a ton of bricks and ever since that day Juliens been on a quest for success and has been shining ever since.All because of faith.
