New York City-native synthpop songstress Julietta is a fierce ball of drums, fashion and self-discovery. Having just released her debut album, ‘Smooth Sailing’, this unique musician is bringing her own spin to the classic indie-pop sound that we thought we knew. Julietta’s music has the funk of disco but the thoughtfulness of blues, all undercut by an infectious modern electronic energy.
On ‘Smooth Sailing’, Julietta shares stories from her adolescence as a wild youth in NYC, getting caught up with the allure of big city excess that led to addiction and struggles with mental health. While struggling to gain her sense of self, Julietta discovered her voice through songwriting as part coping mechanism, part cathartic release.
