Johannesburg-based singer/songwriter Julia Lamberti has had a deep love of music for as long as she can remember. As the daughter of an ex- musician, she was exposed to a variety of genres from a young age and this helped form her eclectic taste in music. She performs a vibrant mix of jazz, blues, soul and contemporary rock with a distinctively mellow tone and soulful feel.
