Creative Musical Journey

Creative Style
Julian's original music spans melodic rock, indie, pop, folk singer/songwriter style and includes hints of jazz and R&B influences. He appeals to diverse listeners.
Julian's albums are largely self-recorded with all instruments played by Julian himself. Although almost all his songs have lyrics, Julian's the first to admit he's no singer. "Some of these songs cry out to be treated well by a great vocalist" he says.
Julian plays guitar and bass left handed. He is also a fairly accomplished pianist, having had formal classical training whilst still a child.
In 2023 he began a new journey to rediscover music he'd written over thirty years ago. Listening to old recordings - originally made on reel to reel tape - inspired him to begin writing again. He now focuses on newly written material but occasionally re-visits his earlier compositions to record them afresh.
