We were delighted to welcome G SongLab participant Julie into the Genelec Artist Room recently to perform her beautiful song ‘Fade Away’.

Aged just seventeen, Julie comes from Vantaa in Finland and has been writing songs since she was thirteen.

“I have always been surrounded by music,” says Julie. “My sister got me into playing piano when I was nine, but my interest in making music started when I got accepted to a music orientated class in my third year at primary school. I figured that music was a way for me to express myself as an individual.”

Speaking about the powerful and expressive Fade Away, Julie is incredibly modest. “The lyrics kind of just came into my head and onto the paper. The song expresses what I felt at the time and I wasn’t really thinking that it would become the song that it is today,” she reveals.
