Julia Campbell

Julia Campbell grew up in Pennsylvania and now calls Los Angeles home. Music has always been her way of making sense of the world. She started young, singing along to Avril Lavigne from the backseat, listening to her dad’s Monkees tapes with the windows down, or sitting with her mom while they picked apart Joni Mitchell’s lyrics together.

At 14, she picked up a guitar for the first time and taught herself to play. Ten years later, she’s still writing songs, now tucked inside a home studio she built out of a walk-in closet. Over time, she’s also been learning how to produce her own music, step by step. Julia’s sound has been shaped by artists like Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, Clairo, and Adrienne Lenker. But her songs tell her own stories, often filled with quiet details and honest questions.

Before settling in LA, she spent six months teaching English in China, then drove across the country alone to start a new chapter. Since arriving, she’s spent many nights at concerts, often solo, soaking in the city’s music scene and slowly finding her place in it. She’s now started performing her own songs at local showcases. Her writing feels personal, sometimes raw, and often unexpectedly catchy. The kind of songs that stay with you and say just enough to feel like they were written for you too.
