Julia J., singer/songwriter, mentor, humanitarian, and owner of J3Music Studios, is on a music mission. Her focus is on spreading a positive musical message to encourage and empower others. In 2010 Julia co-founded the Creative Arts Initiative out of Sierra Leone, West Africa and travelled there to teach young women how to express themselves creatively through the arts. She currently offers songwriting, guitar, and vocal Music Mentoring Sessions to students of all ages; blogs about the experience of being a musician and a mom on her "Music Mama" blog site, and offers a music supervision service for independent filmmakers. 

As a songwriter, Julia's music is acoustic based; but the arrangements go much deeper, pulling inspiration from her jazz and folk roots and natural R&B soul. On her debut album Urban Legacy, released in 2007, she presents songs about light, love and trusting life’s changes- lessons she learned from her musical genius father, Stanley Jordan, and poetess mother. At only 28 years old, she already has 19 years of professional performance experience and her voice has carried her around the world to grace the stages of legendary music venues including, the Buzios Jazz y Blues Festival in Buzios, Brazil; the Cairo Opera House in Cairo, Egypt; the Long Beach Jazz Festival in Long Beach, CA; and Alice Tully Hall in New York City, among many others. Her first music-for-film project, a short film called SALAY, recently won a prestigious Best Shorts Award and is currently making it's way through the international film festival circuit.

Julia's energy, message, and music are breaths of fresh air, cool drinks of lemonade; love, light, optimism... She would like to leave an influence on the next generation of music lovers and visionaries that will be lasting and deep.
