About me
Hi, my name is Julian, I’m currently 23 years old and I live in The Netherlands. Ever since I was a little kid, I have always been interested in art. I mostly liked music and theatre. I’ve always loved making up stories and telling them to everyone. I liked to show my emotions and feelings on a stage, even if that stage was just the table in our living room. The passion for writing has always been there, I wrote my own little stories, my own songs and my own scenario’s. I still write a lot, nowadays mostly as poems and song lyrics.
Many years of my childhood I followed acting classes. I always loved to create worlds and characters and I had a lot of fun in creating their stories, backgrounds and feelings. It was a way to express myself, but also to be able to understand all my own emotions. I started to also write my own little stories, and later on even whole scripts and scenario’s for characters I made up. The writing started to take over more and more.
In 2022 I started at Popular Culture, a study in Leeuwarden. In that period in my life I was fully focussed on writing my own songs and singing them. I always sang a lot as a child, but never took it serious. Since starting with studying I figured I really enjoyed using my voice to tell the stories I wrote. I started mostly at home, writing lyrics in my notebook while trying to find the right piano chords on my keyboard at home. For me it was a way to put my thoughts and emotions onto paper, to get them out of my head. I figured that it really helped me to proccess several things I was dealing with. Writing the songs really helped me to find more inner peace. Through writing, I found ways to leave some negative thoughts and emotions I had behind me. I mostly wrote to find ways to deal with the negative thoughts, while I also tried to write down the positive things to capture them and to be able to realise what kind of good things I also have and get to experience. I always try to be grateful for what I have in life and for the people who are always there for me. To be able to always remember that, I try to put that into my songs as well. I think that if you manage to focus on the good things in life, everything will always work out. And it really helped me that through the years I started to realise it’s okay to feel lost and not have all the answers. I found ways, through writing songs, to accept all my feelings and emotions.
I mostly write about things that happen in my head, in my life and in the world I live in. My music is personal, real and emotional. I write songs about self-discovery, finding my place in this world, and the complexities of love and happiness. Soon I will release my first music, I’m so so so excited for that and I honestly still can’t believe it’s finally coming closer. I’m looking forward to be sharing what I’ve worked on for the past couple of years. Stay tuned for all the updates!
