Julian is a world class multi instrumentalist and vocalist based in Los Angeles. He specializes in bass and slap upright bass and has been working professionally for the past 17 years. His instrument proficiency consists of bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo, piano/ keys, drum set, percussion, and accordion. His passion and endless drive for seeking beauty, humanity, unity, and truth in music has led him on a journey of studying and understanding human expression in musics from around the world.
Julian grew up in a musical family with his twin brother, Adrian, also being a musician and mother, Wendy Walker, being a fantastic singer and actor. Julian’s musical career started in Jr. High. With the help and inspiration of his uncle Brad Johnson (King Doublebass) Julian got his first upright and hit the bass with a vengeance. He fell in love with the instrument and all of its possibilities. With his first group (JONNY COME LATELY) they made it into the TOP 20 on the second season of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT at age 15. Since then Julian’s musical career has led to him performing in venues across Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Scotland, Canada, all around the United States. Julian also has a BA in music and continues to study music as a life long student.
