About
The exceptional Australian singer/ songwriter and producer Julia Messenger has been dubbed the female queen of chill and has rapidly built a solid international name for herself. Through both her collaborations with a number of major European artists and her solo work, she is now seen as one of the rare strokes of luck in the electronic music scene.
De:bug claimed Myamisumi, Julia's first solo 12" vinyl, as "the best vocal album ever to come out of the Cologne electronic scene.
New York Times mentioned Julia's song "Look Up Look Down" as on the top playlist for U.S. Restaurants.
Julias songs and productions have appeared on numerous compilations in Europe and America alongside artists such as : Moby, Nitin Sawhney, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Goldfrapp, Groove Armada, Ursula Rucker, Basement Jaxx, Jamie Cullum, Bebel Gilberto, Zero 7, Rae & Christian and Julee Cruise to name just a few. Her prolific output has attracted significant industry attention and she's enjoying airplay in Europe and America.
She has recently been asked to write and sing for Ferry Corstens next album (current Album just reached #1 DANCE album in USA on Itunes).
Her voice has been likened to such artists as: Sade, Dido, Norah Jones, Ursula Rucker, Lisa Gerrard, Annie Lennox, Sinead OConnor and Donna Summer - although given the adversity of these artists, her style is her own. Her vocals have been called sultry, sexy, superb, stunning, sweet, scorching, intense, dizzying, cream, aromatic, bewitching, exotic, exceptional, luxurious..
Julia is proud to have just released two albums digitally And We Danced (Julias second solo album) and Productions & Collaborations (a lounge mix created by Julia herself), both of which are also available on Itunes.
Other current projects include Saskia Hutch (a poppier/dance album which is attracting significant interest from Djs around the world).
Makossa and Megablast from Vienna (who have just released their first album on Kruder & Dorfmeisters famous label G-Stone) are currently remixing songs from Saksia Hutch, as is Peter Haze (who has remixed Beyonce) USA.
