“Everybody goes through their own fair share of difficulties
Some hold their head up high and face the test of another day
Others become overpowered by the pain and hide themselves away
But no matter how you choose to deal with your problems
The promise that things will get better is what pulls us through
And in these moments when we find ourselves wading through the darkness
With the belief that a change of fortune is on the horizon
We discover something once more and we realise that we’re stronger than we thought we were
And finally we realise for the first time in a long time
We’re smiling again.”
- Julian Morello
Julian Morello (born March 16, 1988) is a budding record producer, writer, director and music scout. Born and raised in Berklee, California, his father was a construction worker and his mother owned a boutique store, he has three older siblings all of which are sister’s means that there was always a lot of attention on him from an early age. Fascinated by the performing arts from an early age that begin with movies and eventually changed to a love of music however Julian never had any intentions in acting or becoming a musician but instead preferred the behind the scenes process of these art forms which was enhanced further when he spent his summers at ‘Tisch School Of The Arts’.
During high school he also became a big fan of literature, most notably the works of E.E. Cummings, Edgar Allan Poe, John Steinbeck, J.D Salinger and Charles Dickens. He was also a fan of sports and played for Football in high school although he claims that he was never quite the jock type but instead claims that he was “caught between being charming and a nerd, a hermit and confident” and although he had plenty of friends he often spent a lot of time alone, reflecting on his own issues and his own decisions. He was always a high achieving student and after leaving high school, Julian attended Princeton University where he graduated last summer.
After leaving Princeton University in the summer of 2011, Julian took an internship at Studio60 Records and has recently been given a full-time role at the record label in a PR and scouting role at the label where he is expected to work alongside co-owners Greg Walls and Gia Rose. He also was hired as an engineering assistant on Alicia Lena’s 2011 album ‘Waking Up’ where he was given the opportunity to study the production roles closely as he looks to move into production in the near future.
In 2012 following his permanent role at Studio60 Records he began to take on other roles including songwriter as his first two writing credits for 'I'll Take The Bruises For You' by Benjamin Luna and 'Everybody Wants You' by Luke Striker became number #1 singles, he also worked as co-producer on Alicia Lena's 'Reign Over Me' and Luke Striker's 'Your Conflicted Heart'.
On top of these songwriting/production roles he was also handed the task of organising the 2012 'Field Trip Festival' which primarily centered around the line-up selection.
