We had the good fortune of connecting with Mr Julz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mr, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I was born to a middle-class family from West Africa Cameroon in a town called Bamenda. As you would guess I am a Cameroonian. Growing up a in music influenced home with elder siblins who at the time were able to steal money from my dads wallets and mums purse to buy cassets. So at a very young age I was exposed to a lot of music. Buying cassetes was like buying sweets for me as this was my escape to another dimension. I was always the very arty child growing up so quickly found myself dancing to a large crowd at every end of year school event. In High school with the rise of hip hop I started writing my own raps. At the time that was because I wanted to look and appear cool to a girl I was trying to chat up at the time. I was either singing, dancing, writing or trying to draw as a kid. There was creative side of me and music seem to be that perfect place where I could grow my talent in art, dance and music.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
One thing about me is I never give up and I have come to realised this is an attitude that when applied to anything in life whatever you work at comes to you. I have a massive love for excellence and over the past couple of years, I have worked hard in training myself in being able to produce music videos and also mixing and recording and producing. There was this light bulb moment during the lock down that I released I had to step up `and be more center stage with my music creation. So I got myself a full home studio and I have not looked back since. This is one of the things I wish I had done all these years. I enjoy the process of creating music, shooting videos, and just playing around with creating content for social media.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would say SOHO is the place for a good night out in Dallas for Afrobeats lovers.
