Biography
Biography
With an extensive musical background since the age of five, Julia Watkins decided to pursue a career in the Entertainment Industry. Intrigued with performing violin in an alternative style, she set out to learn the technical side of amplification, running a PA System, etc., in order to perform as an electric violin soloist. Learning from watching other electric violinists, and from her own performance experiences, Julia further mastered her craft as she learned how to engage audiences of all ages.
Julia was born and raised in a small town in south Florida. She was homeschooled kindergarten through 12th grade. Homeschooling allowed her the flexibility in schedule to devote many hours of practice to violin and piano.
In Highschool Julia qualified for the Florida All State Orchestra, and sat as Concert Master at the Vero Beach High School Orchestra, as well as Concert Master of the Treasure Coast Youth Symphony. Julia then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Violin Performance from Belhaven University where she received a full music scholarship.
After graduating from college, Julia decided to pursue a career in the classical music world. She was a member of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, and owned a large music studio where she enjoyed teaching and mentoring hundreds of students. After several years of performing in the Symphony, Julia retired at the age of twenty-seven. She returned to school to acquire a Master’s of Business Administration while pregnant with her second child. She successfully graduated with an MBA, and was hired as an adjunct faculty member at the local college teaching business classes. Julia then decided to merge her education and background together, and started her own music entertainment business in January of 2020.
In addition to her new career direction, she decided to audition for America’s Got Talent. Julia was filmed and seen on the opening scenes of Season 15 and 17 on NBC.
Julia now works with Entertainment Agencies performing at events all over the country, as well as providing the live entertainment at corporate events, and weddings.
She recently debuted a new Stilt Act, and is one of the only Stilt Violinist Entertainers in the world.
