Julian Velard
Now living in West London, Brooklyn born Julian Velard is a superb pop songwriter as well as a storyteller. His passion for film has influenced his music ever since he was a young school boy, who would rather rent 2 feature length movies a night than do his homework. Since signing to Virgin, Julian has worked with Robbie Williams' producer Steve Power and completed his eagerly awaited album 'The Planteer,' on which you may recognise his debut single 'Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen.' With his record collection containing music from the likes of Elton John to Girls Aloud, The Lockout can expect a very special set from a truly unique artist.
