Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter Julia Pratt is a guitarist, pianist and vocalist with a background in jazz. She’s known for her skilled vocal layering and otherworldly harmonies over a dense piano and synth backing, and her creative vision is linked to the often bizarre and obscure inner world of dreams and emotions.

Julia started singing as a teenager after a childhood of playing multiple instruments including cello and saxophone. After playing jazz saxophone for a few years, she decided that she wanted to sing the standards that she had been playing, and began by trying to emulate the sounds of her idols Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. She then set out to create her own songs that captured the delicate lyricism of the jazz standards that they sang, but with her own modern sensibility.

This endeavor culminated in the release of her Jazz influenced EP Fallout in 2021. These days, her focus is on writing and releasing new music both independently and in collaboration with other songwriters and producers, dipping her toes in different genres and finding her voice in all of them.
