JULIE DEXTER
Born and raised in Birmingham, England
of Jamaican Parents, Julie Dexter is a world-renowned vocalist who has
won numerous international awards. A classically trained musician who
writes, arranges, composes and produces, Julie is considered by many to
be one of the most important female vocalists of her generation and has
been dubbed by her fans as the “UK’s Queen of Soul.” Deeply influenced
by legends such as Billy Holiday and Nancy Wilson, as well as popular
icons such as Omar and Sade, Julie takes the essence of classic soul to
the mainstream.
Due to her diverse musical influences
and talents, Julie appeals equally to fans of R&B, Acid Jazz, Reggae and
Hip-Hop.
Blessed
with a beauty that goes far beyond skin deep, Julie is made infinitely
more attractive by her genuine affection for people – an affection that
overflows in her music. Writing songs that deal with all aspects of
the human experience, from poverty and racism to love and lust, she is
able to be serious without being heavy and playful without being
trite. Effortlessly moving between haunting blues and surging funk,
she weaves magical tales of the universally personal. As one stunned
audience member put it after a New Years Eve performance at New York’s
legendary CBGB’s, “Listening to Julie Dexter is like falling in love.” |
