About Juliana Sparks

To buy a copy of "Juliana" scroll down to the end of this section!! Born in Montreal, Canada, singer-songwriter Julie Sparks knew at an early age she was going to be a musician. Born into a creative family, she was nurtured by parents who supported her artistic leanings.

Julie’s mother was the writer in the family – “My mother’s family was unusual, because my Grandmother was a single mom in the Depression years. What was interesting was her love of words – my mother tells of her mother pushing the stroller down the street with kids in tow, reciting poetry from memory. Because the library in Wallaceburg was limited, my grandmother would order books by mail-order – Thomas Hardy, Yeats,…the classics. I was encouraged to read anything and everything, so the writing came very naturally...”

During those long weeks on the road with many cover bands, she discovered her talents as a songwriter. “When you’re out there, the days are long, and so you start trying to fill them. I had always kept journals, and then one day it occurred to me that I had a book full of song lyrics…”

“Juliana”, Julie and Justin’s CD collaboration, was released in January 2008. “It’s been a long road, but it’s been worth every bit of heartache and hard work. I have been very blessed, no question, and I’m so happy to be surrounded by so many supportive and talented friends and musicians. It has been a great year…sometimes it’s hard to believe, that we really did it…and it’s everything I’d hoped for.”
