Jules
Jules was born in North London in a leafy suburb of Enfield.
She began to sing classical music when she was very young and was selected to sing at the Royal Albert Hall when she was 7 in an Anglo-American Festival. She was supposed to go to a music school, but times were hard and ended up in a usual comprehensive with music going on a backburner.
Her childhood influences were incredibly varied ranging from classical, jazz, soul, musicals and rock. She has been heavily influenced by David Bowie, Celine Dionne, Kate Bush, The Rat Pack, Nat King Coal, Barbara Streisand, Peter Gabriel, Eva Cassidy and Ray Charles. She loves Bon Jovi, although pure hard rock isn’t her natural singing style. It’s more of an amalgamation of country, classical, folk and a brush with rock and pop.
In the following years, she trained to get a ‘proper job’ to pay the bills and singing, although behind closed doors, was always important.
In the following years she entered a few music festivals and received some good reviews. She has played in Carmen, the Mikido, Old Time Musicals, and sang solo songs from the shows with the Newmarket Singers in-between.
Recently, she has worked with Mike Rowe and started to write music. She has always loved music especially with original, stirring and emotional content, but like one of her idols Kate Bush, has enjoyed singing songs mysteriously out of the public gaze…………………………………..
