Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Julia Lyons. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Julia, thanks for joining us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
My career, in general, is a huge risk in itself. Few people are willing to take the risk of pursuing music full-time and jumping into an unfamiliar music world. It is more than pursuing what you want in a career; it is a passion that typically goes one way or the other. and being 18 I’m only at the foot of my career. But I live by the motto, “You’ll never know until you try.” But throughout this I’ve had my faith and family to back me up. That makes the risk easier to take.
Julia, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Julia Lyons is a country singer/songwriter based in Temecula, California. She is best known for her coastal cowgirl style and storytelling in her songwriting. In 2022, she began her music journey at 16 by entering a national singers competition called NACMAI in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. She ended up winning first place in multiple categories as well as first place for her original song, “Girl Next Door.” From there, her passion for writing and performing grew, and she spent most of her days singing at local venues and events all over California. She has released her first ever single titled “Girl Next Store” which is now officially out for streaming . What sets her apart is her hard work ethic and value for her music. Now 18, her fan base has grown over the past year and she is establishing her name in the country music scene.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I would say the particular mission driving my journey is my passion for music. I love to sing, I love to songwrite, I love to perform, and I love working hard for something I love. It’s a challenging goal to achieve, and I have always been told that this journey is a 10-year town, but that hasn’t stopped me from pursuing this and taking my creative liberties and sharing them with the world.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is knowing that you and other people enjoy the music you make. No matter if it’s a sad lyric or a happy lyric. Someone could find what I wrote relatable to them. That to me is the most rewarding thing there is.
