As a child, Julie lived 30 minutes from New York City, and credits those trips to the city as one of her biggest influences. "My mom played classical piano for years and took us to concerts at Lincoln Center, but she also loved Broadway and we saw so many great musicals. I always knew music would be a part of my life." She had the opportunity to participate in many types of music performances that include Broadway, blues, jazz, and swing. Originally wanting to be a guitarist, she studied with Randy Sarles, a jazz guitarist, for 8 years, and sang with him and other jazz musicians in the tri-state area. Eventually, her focus went to vocals exclusively. ​After moving to Philadelphia, Randy, and other mentors in the Philadelphia area including Tom Lawton, Larry McKenna, and Bootsie Barnes encouraged her to record. They and others were featured on her debut swing cd, Is You Is.

​Julie is noted as having a chameleon-like voice that swings sweetly or rock bluesy-depending on her mood. Her three octave range allows for audiences to call her live performances a "must see." One recent review sums up her style in this way: "She is a storyteller. She invites you in, then hits you with energy - you stay." ​In addition to singing, Julie enjoys writing. She has been published in newspapers, television news, and the University of Pennsylvania.
