At 23, Julia Minichiello is quickly becoming one of Nashville’s most compelling new voices. Hailing from Canton, Massachusetts, the University of Massachusetts Amherst graduate seamlessly blends her marketing expertise with raw musical talent, positioning herself as a force in the industry with both heart and vision.

Julia burst onto the scene with a major win in the #Sing2gether TikTok contest, where her stunning performance of “Girl on Fire” landed her at the Sing 2 premiere alongside stars like Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey. She later performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, solidifying her as a rising artist to watch.

On social media, Julia’s 340,000+ followers on TikTok and Instagram are captivated by her genre-blurring sound—part Gracie Abrams, part Noah Kahan—with vocals as commanding as Lady Gaga or Adele. Her debut single, “always know the exits,” dropped December 6, 2024, and earned spots on prestigious playlists like Apple Music’s Soundcheck, Coffee House, Feeling Blue, and Speakin’ Easy, as well as Spotify’s Next Gen Singer-Songwriters, Fresh Finds, and Sad Hour.

With a wealth of new music in the pipeline, Julia plans to release tracks nearly every month throughout 2025, promising a steady stream of deeply personal, genre-defying songs that are sure to resonate with listeners. Supported by a powerhouse team that includes Odyssey Entertainment Group, RiverHouse, Matt Cottingham and FBMM, Julia is poised to make 2025 her breakout year.
