Julian Velard

Julian Velard is a singer, songwriter and composer who's musical stylings and comedic timing have made him a fixture in both the comedy and music scenes in his native America and have created cult followings overseas in the UK and the Netherlands. His music initially took hold a decade ago, where praise from The Guardian, Time Out London, and The Sunday Times led to a major label record deal. He's toured internationally as an opening act for artists such as Paul Carrack, Jamie Cullum and Goldfrapp, and performed with a host of comedians including Will Ferrell, Reggie Watts, Jack McBrayer and Paul Scheer. His ability to transition seamlessly between both worlds has led to regular appearances on The Howard Stern Show and NPR's Ask Me Another. In 2017, he was an artist in residence at the prestigious Joe's Pub at The Public Theater in New York City. Velard has written music and lyrics for Pop acts, commercials and the Internet, including songs for UK sensation Olly Mars, Wix.com, New York Knicks, Buzzfeed, Audible and The New Republic. His song "Everyday Amazing" was chosen as the theme song for Aldi Supermarkets. His work has been featured in Mashable, Nerdist, The AV Club and The Wall Street Journal.
