Julia believes in giving back to her community and is involved in a charity called, “Cell Phones For Soldiers” where she has lost count of the hundreds and hundreds of old cell phones she has collected where for each phone donated, and organization called ReCellular gives our troops who serve abroad an hour’s worth of talk time on pre-paid phone cards so they can afford to call home to their families.
Julia works very hard at her craft and loves every minute of it and dreams of going to Nashville on day.
Opening for Julia will be Gabriella Mercado. Gabriella Mercado was born in south Philadelphia and currently lives in South Jersey. Throughout her life she fought many battles but with singing as her best friend she was never knocked down. She is dedicated to her career and says “nothing in this world can compare to the gift of talent and music”. Music made her who she is and she thanks everyone and anyone who supports her dreams. She’s performed locally in the PA and NJ area. Her video cover of Beyoncés song “best thing I never had” is now out on YouTube. R&b, rap, pop and hip hop is in her heart. Music in her heart, soul and mind. She hopes to make a change with her story and her talent.
