Woman Wednesday: Juliet


Q and A with Juliet from Manchester, United Kingdom

“If there is something you truly desire, go for it, and don’t hold yourself back or settle just because it’s easier.”


Q: Tell us about yourself.

A: I have had a passion for music from a young age. I remember watching Top of the Pops on TV, copying dance routines, and singing to Kylie and Dannii Minogue plus many more artists. I knew then that being a part of the music industry was something I wanted to pursue. My first performance was on stage in my high school extravaganza. I was terrified of getting on stage to sing in front of everyone, but when I got up there, my fears went away. I am a session singer and songwriter who works with music producers from around the world in my home studio. Also just started to get back into performing live again. Another exciting project of mine is that I am working on releasing my very first solo single sometime this year.


Q: What were your younger years like?

A: Growing up, I was a shy person and never socialized that much outside of school, like going out with friends. I would always go home after school. My college days were different as I started to come out of my shell a little bit. I studied music in college and always had a small group of friends I stuck with. I didn’t pursue my music career further and worked in hospitality, then in an office. I did go to auditions and took part in shows here and there but never went full-time as I never felt confident enough. It took me a long time before I realized that I wasn’t going to settle for being comfortable and had to pursue my singing career.

Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?

A: If there is something you truly desire, go for it, and don’t hold yourself back or settle just because it’s easier. It’s never too late.

Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A:
Being independent, not being afraid to stand up for what you believe in. You can make your own choices not letting other people have an impact on your life. Everyone has their own journey and is capable of reaching their goals; you just have to believe that it’s possible.
