Julia D’Angelo is a queer, multidisciplinary artist weaving music, film, and dance into her creative projects.
With roots in jazz and folk traditions, her work draws inspiration — both musically and socially — from artists like Ani DiFranco, Fiona Apple, Sinéad O’Connor, and Nina Simone, whose artistry and activism continue to shape her approach to storytelling and performance.
As an actor, dancer, and musician, Julia brings a natural sense of presence and connection to her performances — whether in an intimate acoustic setting or with her full band. Her latest EP, Collector, fuses acoustic, jazz, and folk roots with worldly and ambient textures, showcasing her evolving artistry and distinctive sonic palette. Blending live-off-the-floor arrangements with experimental production, her music bridges past and present through poetic lyricism, unconventional rhythmic phrasing, and smoke-tinged vocals.
Julia has performed sold-out shows across Toronto (The Rivoli, The Cameron House, The Supermarket, The Monarch Tavern, The Emmet Ray) and New York (Mercury Lounge, Rubulad, Gold Sounds, Purgatory, Knitting Factory, Bowery Electric), as well as at major festivals including NXNE and Departure (formerly Canadian Music Week). She recently completed a four-week residency at The Cameron House, continuing to cultivate community through live performance and collaborative creative spaces.
