Julie Thompson has always been heavily influenced by the varying rock genres in music over the last 3 decades. Although her natural versatile voice and honest songwriting style has always retained poppy melodic sensibilities, her roots vary, encompassing mid 70’s to early eighties alternative rock, the Seattle grunge era and early nineties alternative movement right up to today’s with a little electronic influence displayed by the of which she However the colourful character to her voice led her also down paths within the country scene which she learned to love very much during the early experimental periods of her musical life. The level of influence of these periods can be sometimes heard within her music and indefinable singing style.

The magic of Julie’s musical journey was that through shear determination and perseverance she finally found like minded musicians and producers who could instinctively realize Julie’s ideas. This immediate musical connection gave her the inner confidence, whilst writing, to incorporate and experiment with certain aspects of the genres of music she had fallen in love with since a child.

Her open minded, free spirited approach to music means she is continually keen to profoundly explore the possibilities of crossing styles within her ability as not to stick to a specific genre and limit the creativity.

This is the beauty of collaborating in this way and the reason why I make music, I do it for the big family feeling and satisfaction that everyone is working towards producing the best result they possibly can, with fun.”

This instant collaborative approach with the band, that were initially employed by her producer Armin Djalli for live promotion only, one and a half years ago, lead her to writing her first single “One Day” during their first rehearsal period. The immediate positive response to this song and the ease with which the song was written was an immediate indication that these were the people Julie wanted to continue working with. This was also recognized by Armin who therefore decided to sign her to his German record label Ultra records and encouraged her to begin working harder on the live seen to promote the single and other material she was working on with him at the time, with radio promotions and key spots at music festivals up and down the country. Therefore last year she and her dynamic band blasted on to the German live circuit for the first time with a mini tour, boosting her fan base in every city with their impressive energetic show. This gave Julie the chance to absorb how the people were really responding to her and her music with continuing support from the press who followed, by featuring her and her shows wherever they could. Wanting to extend and update her show Julie, Armin and her band continued to write during this period in every spare moment. This led to the recording of her first album “A language of new rules” referring to her life in a new country and the relationships formed within varying circumstances through belief, trust, creativity and friendship that was all very new to her at this time.
