On today’s episode of Profiles In Music, we welcome back the remarkably talented Lily Juls, known offstage as Julie Orlova.
Julie's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and creativity. From her early days as a multi-instrumental music student in Kiev to becoming a voice that echoes across international airwaves, Lily Juls has carved out a space for herself in the music industry that is uniquely her own. This singer, songwriter, and vocal coach has not only captured the hearts of her listeners but has also inspired many with her journey.
Julie’s interview is a testament to the importance of loving the music above chasing success … while, of course, finding success along the way. She first talks about the catastrophic event in her life that served as a catalyst to changing the style of her music, then Julie goes on to talk about her single “Perfectly Imperfect” and how the song’s message of being good enough is the encouragement she strives to pass along to her music students.
Julie shares that after releasing her Russian album in 2021, she has converted to strictly writing and singing in English, and she plans to release a new single every 6 to 8 weeks. We hear “Strong Enough”, a soon-to-be released single about the power of resilience.
Julie goes on to weigh the pros and cons that have come from recent advancements in recording that have changed the industry. We listen to her song “Drama Queen”, written as a way for Julie to finally express, accept, and appreciate her emotions after growing up in a family and culture that forced her to suppress her feelings. And we hear the humorous account behind the song “Never Sleep Alone.”
