About Me
Julian was born in South Wales.
Julian started playing percussion when he was thirteen, having been given an old snare drum by a music teacher at school. He was introduced to local county Youth Brass Band (MGYBB).
During his time with MGYBB, Julian performed many gigs at the St. David Hall, Cardiff and also toured to Europe on a number occassions.
Julian left MGYBB and continued to playing with The Cory Band and later the BTM Band performing at some of UK’s top concert halls – namely Birmingham Symphony Hall, Royal Albert Hall and St. Davids Hall.
Wanting a change of music, Julian formed his own band – LivingLoud. LivingLoud gigged weekly and were together for 5 years before naturally drifting apart
In 2008, Julian started working with Award Winning Elvis Tribute Band “In Memory Of The King”
2011 has seen Julian work with Cardiff Rock Band They Walk Among Us
