Julie Curly - Press Kit Bio*albums*shows*music*videos*press*contact LISTEN TO SONGS FROM THE UPCOMING EP FLOWER POWER SOUL *STOCK IN YOUR COMFORT * * FLOWER POWER (THE FREEDOM SONG)* Pop songs with Curly sounds Julie Curly is a singer-songwriter from Montreal with a passion for singing in both English and French. From her first French album (Confessions, 2014), to her most recent single (Silk Stocking District, 2015) her music is inspired by storytelling and visual imagery. In 2015, Julie released her first English single. Silk Stocking District tells the story of feminine power & the strength of a woman who won't sleep her way to the top. The vibrancy of New York comes through in the catchy song & music video shot on location in the Big Apple. It is no surprise that New York plays a central role, nor that Julie choses to write about a powerful woman with strong convictions. Born prematurely, struggling in her early days, Julie entered the world in Montreal, the same day John Lennon was murdered in NYC. No doubt the connection to this fateful day & the determination she needed to survive has influenced her music. She tells her story in the award winning song Can you imagine? (The Killing of John Lennon) featured on her first English EP Flower Power Soul, released in June 2017, with the financial help of FACTOR & Government of Canada. In February 2016, Julie's song Daydream was selected for a music compilation by independent Montreal label Jeunesse Cosmique. In November 2016, indie New York label Factory Fast Records selected You Blew Me Away, then, in February 2017, Comme un zèbre dans le désert. In April 2017, the song Last Curtain Call was broadcast on the TV series Highways to fairways on TSN/ESPN. In June 2016, Julie Curly released 2 albums of cover songs, on the digital market, under UK label Instrumental. The four piece band also performs cover songs and frequently plays live venues in the province of Quebec. In June 2018, Julie was touring Eastern Canada as part of the RiseUpTVTour.
