Singer: Julia D. has existing fan base ■ Continued from Page 1 Besides looking for a record la bel, Alcala will also shop manage ment companies that will find op portunities for Julia to sing. “I sing to a broad base of cross campus people,” Julia said. “That is the focus of my music — bring ing people together to the joy of music.” Julia has performed the past two years at the Eugene Celebration and received a great response both times. “We held a crowd for about an hour,” Julia said of her 1996 per formance. “It was a great joy to watch people connect with your music.” “Joy” is a common theme of Ju lia’s. “I feel great joy when I sing,” Ju lia said. “I’m a different person when I sing. I’m transparent, but I evolve to some other place.” The trip to Eugene from Julia’s birthplace of New Orleans has tak en her through 26 countries. Her father, Reverend Joey Laird, estab lished about 200 churches around the world. Julia was tutored through school and graduated from high school at 15. Julia attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston for two years. She then enrolled in the Juilliard Conservatory School of the Performing Arts in New York on a full scholarship. “I studied mostly diversity of sacred music,” Julia said. “Most of my music centered around the di versity of the black versus the white genre crossover—the affect of African-American music in our society.” This expertise, ethnomusicolo gy, is not a highly demanded teaching subject. She could not find a job in the South, but in the fall of 1995, Julia was hired by the University School of Music. “It’s great,” she said. “My area of expertise is finally appreciat ed.” She taught the University Gospel Choir. In 1995, her class size grew from 60 in the fall to 100 by the spring. By the spring of 1997, Julia was teaching 135 stu dents. She may be teaching as many as 200 during the coming school year. Julia has several goals. “I hope to continue teaching here,” she said. “I want to reach that crossover market and become successful nationally.” Julia would consider herself successful if she could lose her self in music and “forget what day it is.” On stage, she said, she changes. “It is a transcending process,” the singer said. “I am not myself. I leave me. I really become a differ ent person on stage.” Julia does not have any set con cert dates in the Eugene area. An thony said she may sing at the Eu gene Celebration again this summer. “I really believe that I have something to say,” Julia said. “I’ve been through a lot with my mu sic. I’m still going through quite a bit.” Alcala will promise Thursday, when Julia signs the contract, to do its best to fulfill her dream. Why rent when you can own?
