If you’ve been living under a rock (or just aren’t keeping up with the Nashville music scene), it’s time to get familiar with Julia Adrian, the Boston-bred singer-songwriter who has seamlessly integrated herself into Nashville’s music scene with her unique blend of wit, charm, and undeniable talent. Whether you're cruising down the highway with the windows down, deep in thought with a cup of coffee, or just looking for a fresh new sound, Julia’s music has something for you.


But there’s more to Julia than meets the ear. Born and raised in Boston, MA, she’s lived a life that merges the world of corporate law with the creative chaos of the music industry. Yes, you read that right—corporate law in NYC. From the high-rise hustle of the corporate world to the laid-back creativity of Nashville, Julia brings a smart, business-savvy edge to the music scene. And let’s be honest, we could all use a little more of that in the wild world of songwriting and performing.


From Legal Briefs to Acoustic Chords: Julia's Journey


Julia Adrian isn’t just another “wannabe musician”—she's a force to be reckoned with. After working in corporate law in New York City, she realized that her true calling wasn’t arguing legal cases but crafting lyrics that cut straight to the heart of human emotion. And thank goodness for that, because the world is better off with her witty wordplay and emotionally honest ballads than with another legal contract.


After her move to Nashville, Julia quickly made waves, working with major industry players like Oracle Management, Reel Muzik Werks, 507 Publishing, and Big Yellow Dog. Her songwriting isn’t confined to just one genre, either. Julia dips her toes into pop, country, R&B, rock, EDM, indie folk pop—you name it. She’s got cuts in multiple genres, and her songs have racked up hundreds of thousands of streams, landing her on playlists like No Country for New Nashville, Nashville Pop, and Popville.


But what really sets Julia apart is her versatility. From gut-wrenching power ballads to dry, humor-filled anthems that’ll have you singing along and questioning your life choices, Julia’s sound feels as natural as it is innovative. Her jazz-influenced vocals and organic instrumentation make her tracks stand out in an otherwise crowded pop world. Oh, and did we mention her lyrics? She’s a master of double entendres and clever wordplay, keeping her listeners hanging on to every line.



"An EP With Potential" — Her Debut EP is Almost Here


Julia Adrian is ready to make an even bigger splash with her debut EP, "An EP With Potential," set to drop on April 4th. After a year of anticipation, the EP promises to deliver a whole spectrum of moods, from conflicted introspection to pure, unfiltered vulnerability. The songs are a perfect blend of honesty and genre-defying sound, capturing the essence of Julia’s diverse musical background and her ability to write a song that makes you laugh, cry, and everything in between.


The EP kicks off with the track “Sucked In,” a perfect introduction to her blend of storytelling and emotional depth. Julia’s voice is both bold and smooth, and the track’s production, helmed by Kory Shore, gives it a punchy yet laid-back vibe. This is followed by “Elephant in the Room,” which is as much about confronting uncomfortable truths as it is about setting the tone for the EP’s blend of pop and indie sensibilities.


And if you’re someone who can’t get enough of a love story that feels as bittersweet as it is exhilarating, then “Second Chances” will hit all the right notes. Co-written with Kory Shore, this track explores the possibility (or perhaps, the impossibility) of second chances in love, with a soulful twist that shows off Julia’s vocal range.


The EP also includes “Almost Like I Never Even Met You,” a collaboration with Daniella Spadini, which delivers an achingly relatable narrative of moving on from a relationship that didn’t quite work out. Julia’s ability to mix painful vulnerability with pop sensibilities makes it a standout track for anyone who’s ever had to put the pieces of their heart back together.


The EP’s title track, “Potential”, is a reflection of Julia’s own journey—an exploration of what could be and what might have been, all wrapped in a catchy, rhythm-driven sound. It’s the kind of song that makes you reflect on the idea of possibility, both in your life and in your relationships.
