David Julia - Inspired 2018
Label: VizzTone
Genre: Blues
PRODUCED BY MIKE ZITO
David Julia is 17 years old and dead serious about the blues.
He began performing at the age of seven, and over ensuing
decade has grown into a blues powerhouse who is beginning to
establish himself far beyond his Florida home. David has been
touring regionally and has already participated in the Memphisbased Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge four
years in a row, drawing rave notices from the worldwide crowd.
David entitled his new album INSPIRED, because he’s very aware of
the debt he owes to the musicians who have inspired him. Beyond
the blues masters whose records he has learned from, he has been
personally touched by the current generation of musicians who have come through his home state, taught, befriended
and encouraged him, and helped him along the way. The album was produced by Mike Zito, and includes six original
compositions plus songs by J.P. Soars, Michael Burks, Tab Benoit, Albert Castiglia and Matt Schofeld.
“David Julia is playing guitar beyond his years. He has an ear for melody, and a strong feeling that is contagious.”
— Mike Zito
“I met David when he was 13 at a Fur Peace Ranch workshop. He inspired me and older workshoppers to more
creativity. But an Old Soul and youthful fre is not all: The Blues Foundation arranged a Woodsongs Radio Hour for David
in December 2017 and he’s a rising force in the Florida music scene with his own band and sitting in with national and
local musicians. David’s singing, guitar playing, songwriting, and performance skills are fulflling his promise.”
— Bob Margolin, David’s friend and collaborator
