A singer since the age of three, and a musician/songwriter since the age of eight, Julie Chesser has combined the two and the result is destined to rock the music world!
Raised on piano and guitar, this singer/songwriter's music reflects the musical passions that inspired her in youth. Listeners can expect to hear the influences of folk, rock, and pop, yet still find they are listening to something completely unique and difficult to define. The experiences and influences of her life, have given her the ability to craft beautifully written melodies and catchy tunes.
Accompanying her on the album you will be able to hear David Freund, a very talented singer and keyboardist. He backs her up with hands that fly over keyboards and amaze every listener.
Hard work and tenacity - as well as a strong "DIY" work ethic - are what lie at the center of Julie Chesser's exploration of music. No quick steps to "success", just great songs, sung by a powerhouse vocalist with heart, with an outgoing personality and the ability to touch every person who hears her sing.
The following are some reviews from people who know Julie or have heard her music:

Julie,
So glad someone in the family had the opportunity to share the "King" talent. Tell your Mom and Dad (I'm sure they know) that they should be very proud. Wonderful website and hoping the very best for you.
Your cousin,
Susan

I have known her since she was in 10th grade. what, 15 years old? it has been quite a ride. we sang in high school choir together. we both love music a lot. but now i realize JUST how much of a passion of hers it is. i am listening to the songs right now, but i can't turn it up very loud...still, it sounds very sweet and beautiful. i will definitely be getting a cd here soon! i hope your dreams come true julie! love u always.
