Julia Easterlin - Calling Out
This winner of the 2005 Berklee College of Music Summer Singer/Songwriter Competition delivers a sultry cd of original music.
It happened on a bus that Yoko sent.
With a voice that combines seduction with a haunting jazz edge, her music weaves story with an other-worldly vocal dance, drawing the listener deep into each well-crafted piece.
At the age of 15, Julia Easterlin found herself on the “John Lennon Tour Bus”, a traveling studio that is the brainstorm of Yoko Ono and the John Lennon Foundation. After a day of working as both the lyricist and lead singer of the newly combined group, Julia was ushered to the side when her mother arrived. “Mortgage your house” was the advice the recording engineers gave to Julia’s mother. “We do this every day of our lives all over America and we’ve never said this to anyone else, but do whatever you can do to get her out there”.
Julia’s first “out there” step was a summer away at The Berklee College of Music in Boston. “We wanted to see if she was as good as the guys on the bus thought she was,” said Julia’s parents, “ So we decided to throw her into a larger pot and see what happened”. Julia won both the Summer Singer/Songwriter Competition and was the only vocalist to receive a full scholarship to return to Berklee the following summer. While studying jazz at Berklee, she was advised to audition for the Gibson/Baldwin GRAMMY Jazz Ensemble. It’s a national audition process that selects 8 of the nation’s most talented vocalists to perform in L.A. for GRAMMY week. Again the door opened wide and Julia garnered the position of lead soprano for the group.
