MAGIC Sounds on the Street Weekly concerts by Magic 89.9
Some people say
that artists are a dime a dozen. But if you are lucky some dimes just shine
more brightly than others. Such is the case for me when I recently interviewed
Julianne on my shift at Dream FM, 106.7
She came in towards my 2nd hour and having
to both interview her and prepare for the materials for the next day’s segment
show, “Soul Candy”, my nerves were frazzled. But being the trooper that I am, I
rose to the occasion and met with her.
What immediately drew me to Julianne is her immediate
and truthful sense of self; from her early days of singing in bands, doing
session work for artists like Gary Valenciano, Jay-R to traveling to Japan to perform for fellow Filipinos and Japanese
nationals alike. Julianne is one person who didn’t have any airs and comes from
the space of simply an artist who wanted to share her views and music to the
world.
Among her musical influences she cites are Jill Scott,
India Arie, Eryka Badu, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Incognito. There are more artists that have truly caught her musical ear but this has only
contributed to the richness of her own music.
She also shares the same views as I did about how the
local music industry as thriving as it is, still needed new blood and new
singer/songwriters, for the scene seemed to be dominated by bands once more and
some times a single, solitary voice espousing their own form of realization of
truth through music can be heard as effectively or even much more loudly than a rock
band.
There is a fine line that an artist treads in
addressing both what they feel from the wellspring of themselves and what they
see around them as a member of society. Julianne is also incongruence to this
fine line and hopes that thru her music, she would be able to do just that.
Truly a breath of fresh air, not to mention, soul coming to breathe anew in the
local music scene. One artist we would want to see evolve as she goes on
perfecting her craft.
Had a chance to interview this new gem of an artist on my slot on Dream Fm, 106.7 today. Soul, groove, heart are the best words to describe Julianne. She has been singing since she began talking. Being cradled to jazz, soul, rhythm and blues at a very early age and deriving her musical influences from the less mainstream but consummate artists such as Jewel, India Arie, Jill Scott and Eryka Badu just to name a few. She devoted most of her 23 years unfolding as a musician and songwriter. Her music has now evolved into her own. Julianne’s groove and charisma are far from typical but even when she renders her obscure jazzy repertoire, non-jazz but genuine audiophiles never fail to be wowed. Baring one's soul is but a trite description of any performer but in Julianne’s case, it essentially captures her moments on stage. Guys, I know you're gonna like what you hear so go and get a copy of her debut album under MCA Records and help bring back the SOUL back into OPM.
