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.
With live setups ranging from intimate, acoustic solo shows, to energetic full band sets, Julia has performed sold-out shows across Toronto and New York (The Rivoli, The Cameron House, Horseshoe Tavern, Mercury Lounge, Knitting Factory), as well as at festivals; NXNE, Departure and the CNE. She is currently completing Canada Music Incubator’s Artist Entrepreneurship program and working on her debut full-length album.
