biographical info
From opening for Kanye West in Singapore to being hand picked to perform for the Queen; from headlining the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics to being the main act for Canada Day celebrations in London, England, Jully Black has perfected her explosive live performance that showcases her unique and powerful voice as well as her ability to engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Jully consistently and effortlessly exceeds expectation, leaving fans inspired, entertained and awe-struck by her commanding yet endearing presence and the ability to create a personal connection with those who witness her in her most favoured element - on stage. She has brought tens of thousands of people to their feet in venues around the world and has received extraordinary reviews from critics and fans alike. A Jully Black performance is without question, an experience like none other.
A force to be reckoned with, this Canadian-born, triple threat (singer/songwriter/performer) loves to share her talents and has an enthusiasm for music that is unparalleled. Her charming attitude and charismatic personality has helped propel her career and reach milestones that most artists struggle to achieve in a lifetime - winning multiple Juno awards, penning songs for the likes of Nas and Destiny’s Child as well as performing along side artists such as Jay-Z, Sean Paul, Kardinal Offishall and Alicia Keys. There is no question as to how she has achieved the status of “Canada’s Queen of R&B”, a title given to her by her fans and peers.
Her new, soon to be released album, entitled (8)IGHT, boasts a fresh, energetic and soulful sound, something that has been described as “the future of soul”. Traditionally, Jully is from the school of R&B, with influences like Anita Baker and Tina Turner. She has combined these sounds with the super futuristic beats and rhythms provided by Atlanta producer YoungPete Alexander and the funky creative writing and arrangement skills of Luther Brown. These three individuals, collectively known as “The Officials”, have been able to create a musical landscape that everyone can move and relate to.
