A los seis años, su padre (que era periodista ) llevó a casa unos viejos vinilos con los grandes del género y ahí empezó su temprana fascinación por el blues, siempre presente en casa a través de la radio. Tiempo después heredaron un piano perteneciente a una de sus tías y Julian comenzó a tocar imitando las grabaciones de sus ídolos. A partir de entonces su carrera se ha labrado tocando en vivo en multitud de locales de Canadá y Estados Unidos.
Explosivo con las teclas y sugerente con la voz, su música nos transporta a la esencia misma del universo bluesero y sus bares humeantes llenos de gente dispuesta a dejarse llevar en volandas por este vibrante músico.
A Toronto ( Canada ) settled pianist, heir of the blues and boogie.woogie purest tradition. Although his traditional influences, he performs and particularly sings in a very personal way.
When he was six his father ( a radio journalist ) brought home some discarted records inducing his attention on music. His taste for blues was re-enforced by some radio programs he heard while his mother was labouring away in the kitchen.
Some time later one of his dad's aunts died and left him a piano. He started fooling around trying to play as he listened to Memphis Slim and little by little finally got the skill enough to play his own stuff in smoky bars in Canada and USA.
He' s got a burning performing on the keyboard and a suggestive vibrant voice that takes you to the real essence of the blues honky-tonk bars. Brilliant.
