Music comes naturally to this sixth-generation Texan who was born and raised in Whitewright, a small town near Dallas. Julie grew up listening to a wide variety of music -- from Broadway show tunes to George Jones -- and gave her first performance at the age of three. Julie says, "I never thought of any pursuit other than music and performing." After earning a theater arts degree from Austin College in Sherman, Texas, Julie began making her mark on Broadway, Off-Broadway, film and television, as well as in regional theater, with a loyal and growing following in New York, Virginia, Dallas/Fort Worth and beyond. But nothing could take the small town Texan out of the girl. Julie admits, "I never intended to leave Texas, but I figured fate was telling me something." Her trail of experience added depth to her life and her songs, and it makes her Texas homecoming that much more meaningful. Julie's not only proud to proclaim her roots, she's also learned to open her heart through her music... and now through songwriting, Julie's able to show us even more of who she is.

Sold-out shows and a growing fan base have caught the ear of critics. Show Business Magazine says, "Johnson has an astonishing vocal instrument. It's a honey-colored, full-bodied dramatic mezzo." Billboard writes, "This is a voice that demands your attention." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram says, "Hers is a rich and powerful voice over which she has complete control."

And with Julie's return to her Texas heritage, country fans are cheering her, too. When she's not on the road, Julie and son Trey enjoy being at home in Texas, in a lakeside cabin near Whitewright.
