JULIEN'S MUSICAL JOURNEY FROM INTERNATIONAL REPORTER TO INTERNATIONAL SINGER

Julien's musical journey started in 2007 when he arrived for the first time in the Philippines. Although Julien was still working as an international reporter where he published several reports in the USA Today, the Economist and the New York Times Magazine, he decided to learn the guitar and write his own songs. Following a spiritual journey in Mexico in 2008, he realized that his biggest dream was to become an international artist and contribute to promote peace and unity through music. A few months after his arrival in Manila, Julien met Jimmy Antiporda, one of the most respected producers in the Philippines who recently worked with Charice and Maria Aragon. After listening to Julien's song "No More Divisions", Jimmy offered to produce and make a music video for the song.

Julien's music has been noted for displaying a wide variety of styles and influences, including pop, funk, reggae and hip hop.
