Personal Bio 

Born in Leeds, England and educated at Hogwarts(truly!) all the way to a philosophy degree at York university, Julian  moved to London as a singer songwriter with classical training on piano and self taught on guitar.  

After abortive record deals with Alan McGee he joined hip electro clash outfit “Whitey”  as co-writer/guitarist recording many of the songs in his nascent home studio. After a complete breakdown in communication, Julian moved to Los Angeles to pursue his own project and had further success with licenses in TV and film in the USA
