Julian will be joined by legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong, who has performed with artists such as Aretha Franklin and Herbie Hancock. Alex Raz, a 10-year old guitarist, and Vincent Fondale, an 8-year old vocalist, from the television production “Finding Julian’s Band”, will also be performing with Julian.
Julian’s talents were introduced to the world by William Winfield III, founder of United Drumline Entertainment, who auditioned and offered a contract to the drummer when he was only 15 months old!
With his solo debut \'Go Baby!\' before his third birthday, Julian is probably the youngest artist with a solo record ever. Trapper Jack, from Cleveland’s radio station WDOK 102.1, broke the story of Julian and the boy has been shocking audiences ever since. He has appeared on several network and local television shows, including Good Morning America, Martha Stewart, Inside Edition, MSNBC, WGN, FOX News Dayside, WKYC’s Good Company, and many others. He has performed live on numerous radio stations, for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, at a VIP party for the Chicago Cubs season home opener, at the House of Blues, at the Cleveland Grand Prix Opening Ceremonies, and at the NBA semi-finals for the Detroit Pistons.
He has inspired a series of children’s books, led to the formation of Harmonie Network (a national entertainment and music company), launched his own clothing line, had a Korean documentary produced about him, and received worldwide media coverage.
In February, he was honored with “The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award” presented by the Hard Rock Café. Bill Zildjian of the Sabian Cymbal Company, and Vic Firth of Vic Firth, Inc., have also awarded Julian with full artist endorsements.
