A few years ago while scrolling on social media, singer-songwriter Julia Randall came across a filter called "What niche musical subgenre are you?" On the third or fourth try, she got "forest elf jazz." As it happens, that results encapsulates Julia's music perfectly. Her sound is whimsical and nostalgic, drawing on jazz, soul, and folk traditions and showcasing her soothing, soaring vocals. Although she is usually seated at the piano or plucking a six-stringed ukulele, Julia's primary instrument is her pen: her award-winning songwriting tackles big, often existential questions with razor-sharp clarity and wit.

Julia is based in Burlington, Vermont.
