ARTIST TO WATCH: Julia Wolf

Written by Joely Live. Published: September 30 2022

 

Are you looking for your favorite new artist? Look no further! We would love to introduce you to Julia Wolf.

 

Scrolling through Julia’s Instagram, you instantly want to be best friends with the singer-songwriter. Most of the time, Wolf is seen frolicking around New York City living her best life. In between the fun snaps of late-night adventures, mirror pics, and hot girl selfies, Julia is chasing her dreams… the dreams that started when she was in 5th grade.

 

 

“By the 5th grade, I was doing talent shows singing and playing piano," she tells us. "Then, in middle school, I really developed a passion for film score and understanding the euphoric feeling that music could make you feel. But it wasn’t until senior year of high school where my teacher said the only way I could perform in our senior talent show was if the song was original. Then I realized there was no going back for me. I was intensely shy, and writing became a way to communicate without having to do so face-to-face.”

 

Now, some years later, Julia is really discovering who she is as an artist and putting out songs that are meant to make you feel like you are, in fact, good enough. Through her music, she wants her listeners to feel empowered. Wolf has been chasing this dream since she was young, and through that comes hardships, ones that she has beaten and been able to prove to everyone she has what it takes.

 

 

 

As Wolf would say, “When you sing along, you should leave feeling a notch more confident than you did before, because, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized putting myself first and cutting out anyone who doesn’t show respect is the only way to go about life.”

 

Her most recently dropped single, “Get Off My” -- which is a whole vibe, by the way -- is inspired by real life events. The singer-songwriter is proving to people that your time is valuable, and you can’t give your energy to anyone that doesn’t deserve it. “Can’t really give out second chances to people who don’t value your time to begin with,” says Wolf.

 

 

 

If you are ever feeling self-doubt and need to be reminded you are THAT girl, throw on some Julia Wolf music – you won’t be let down. BRB while we go set all of her music on repeat!
