I can fully produce a song - show me what you got and I'll put it together and make it sound like a whole! On top of that, I can also sing - I could be your backing vocals or even lead if you need one!
I started singing when I was 12, took singing lessons for about 8 years and had live performances for 10 years in. a row. I started producing my own covers in 2016, and I discovered a passion for producing and even creating instrumental versions for popular songs.
My first encounter with music was at 7 years old, when I started playing violin and learning musical theory - that being said, I'm pretty good at hearing details and making everything sound perfect - if it exists.
I'm looking to work on more projects and meet other people who are passionate about it - there's always room to learn from one another!
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
Interview with Julia Grama
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: At the moment I'm producing some cover songs for myself and working on some instrumental versions for clients.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That creation is infinite.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What songs do you listen to? What songs do you like to perform? What songs do you like to record/produce? I realised along the years that these are 3 very different things for an artist as myself. I listen to Celine Dion but I don't like performing her songs, I like performing Tina Tuner songs but it's not necessarily my production inspiration; and so on.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started studying music theory and violin when I was 7. At 12 years old I started singing and playing piano, and I built my home studio in 2016. Since then I have recorded numerous covers and I started producing a year and a half ago. I already have. two fully produced songs on Spotify.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would definitely like to work with Kygo - as a singer. I would love to see how he'd wrap his producing skills around my voice!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is probably my singing. Although I'm really passionate about producing, I'm happy to be the singer of my songs as well.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually when I make songs, I start by creating the melody using the sound of a piano. Then I add some drums in order to keep the tempo, and I continue by recording the vocals. I like working vertically as opposed to horizontally; I add to every track bar by bar as I go, instead of completing one from left to right.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a Neumann TLM 102 microphone, a Roland Quad Capture audio interface and Yamaha HS7 monitors. I produce in. Logic ProX, and I have the AKAI MPK mini midi keyboard - with which I've produced two songs that are now on Spotify.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My biggest inspiration at the moment is Kygo. I love the sound of tropical house and I think there are many ways in which you can make this particular genre sound different. I am also inspired by ARIZONA, KREAM and LANY.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mainly produce songs starting with vocal tracks and/or create instrumental versions.
