Raw, Heart-Pounding Rock From The Soul
Hey, you. I’m a Manchester-based musician with fire in my veins and a guitar in my hands. Born in the gritty South of the Netherlands, I uprooted my life and stormed into this city to live my wildest dream — crafting music that hits you right in the chest.
It started with a concert. Paul McCartney, Antwerp, 2003. I walked out knowing exactly what I needed to do with my life. I picked up a guitar and never put it down. Then in 2009, watching Oasis in Cologne, the decision was made: Manchester. No half-measures.
I’m a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. My sound is a blistering fusion of guitar-driven pop and rock — classic vibes that echo the greats, spiked with modern edge. Every riff, every lyric, every damn note gets everything I’ve got.
My songs are built on hooks that stick with you, harmonies that lift you up, and a roaring guitar that’s the heartbeat of it all. The classic sounds of Oasis, The Beatles, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Springsteen, Rolling Stones, and Thin Lizzy run through my DNA. Listeners often compare me with Rush, Journey, ELO, The Who, Fall Out Boy, and Tom Petty — make of that what you will.
People who listen to Julience describe their mood as happy, energised, excited, optimistic, emotional, and thoughtful. That range? That’s intentional.
Music is my life’s biggest passion. Bar none. I believe I have a purpose in it. Julience hopes you’ll find his songs fun and refreshing — and become a fan. It might only take one listen.
