Julia Biel

With a unique voice that comes over like the lovechild of Nina Simone and Thom Yorke with dashes of Billie Holiday and Bjork thrown in and armed with a full bag of self-penned songs as pertinent, if a little more sensitive than a Lilly Allen or Amy Winehouse, Julia Biel is an award-winning rising star on the British scene. In concerts she usually accompanies herself on electric guitar and keyboards and is backed by her four-piece band, drawing on material from her eagerly anticipated forthcoming album.
