Brief Profile
Julia, the third of six children, was born in Kent, England but grew up in Ghana, West Africa. Her musical ability was evident from a young age and at 6 years, she was sent to the renowned John Teye Memorial Maths and Music School, where she was mentored by the Founder, Rev. John Teye, a gifted musician.
Whilst in secondary school, Julia continued to engage in music and the arts through school plays, dancing and talent competitions. Her favourite pastime was learning songs by great artistes like Whitney Houston and Anita Baker and she became well known throughout the school for her ability to mimic them.
In 1983 whilst attending a Christian event, she made a decision to become a born-again Christian. It was at this time that she met a young Music Director, Tom Bright-Davies, who encouraged her to take her musical gift seriously. She joined a musical group – Come Back Inc., but this new Christian experience was short-lived as the realities of daily Christian living became too much for her. Julia returned to the UK in 1988 and forgot all about God and music.
However, in 1993 having felt an inexplicably strong urge to return to Ghana, she again met Tom and Douglas, who invited her to Church. She started attending and during one of the services, made a decision to surrender her life to Jesus, this time with much soul searching and a determination to go all the way. After several years of extensive classes and sessions on the Bible, Julia began singing in her local church. She and Douglas subsequently married in 1997. She hasn’t looked back since.
Julia and Douglas returned to the UK in 2000 and have been members of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) for the past 7 years. Julia is a member of the KICC choir.
This musical project is the first step in fulfilling what she believes God has called her to do. Julia’s passion is to see peoples’ lives changed as hers was so dramatically transformed over 14 years ago. She believes that anointed music is a powerful medium through which God gets through to people and transforms their lives.
Her debut single release “Light My Way” was produced by long time friend and prolific song writer, Tom Bright-Davies.
