- NOTES
Jully Black doesn't believe in holding back. And she never
wants to. Whether it's singing her heart out on her
upcoming debut album This Is Me, broadening her talents in
the theatre production of Da Kink In My Hair, adding
Destiny's Child and Nas to her songwriting credits,
expanding her social consciousness in Bangladesh or
overcoming the heartache of professional setbacks, there's
an apparent fearlessness to Jully that's both admired and
awarded. She's received four Juno Award nominations, four
MuchMusic Video Award nominations and Fashion Magazine
recently recognized her ambitious nature by naming her one
of the most alluring Canadians. To explain her
forward-thinking drive, Jully says: "My mom always said if
you fall down, you can't go further than the ground. So if
I fall, I know I'll just get right back up.".
The youngest of nine and the only singer in a family of
visual artists, Jully grew up in the rough Jane and Finch
neighbourhood of Toronto. She discovered her voice in
church at the age of seven but as her vocal ability
developed, so did the self-consciousness about her
powerful alto range. "It was hard to deal with because the
perception is if you sing high, you sing better," Jully
recalls. Nevertheless, she persevered by going against the
norm and strengthening her lower register. "Now I'd say my
voice is gritty with smooth textures and I've learnt to
love my rasp because that's my difference."
Her signature rasp and soul-stirring voice captured the
ears of rappers like Choclair, Kardinal Offishall and Baby
Blue Soundcrew, who recruited Jully to sing and write on
their singles. Her association with Canada's hip-hop elite
became a launching pad and rigorous training ground,
teaching her how to write melodies and lyrics on the spot,
appear in music videos, carry live shows and prepare for
the spotlight.
But Jully wanted to shine for more than a mere eight bars,
and began to really push her talents as a songwriter. Her
incredible understanding of song structure, melody and
expressive lyrics were noticed by Warner/Chappell Music,
who inked her to a music publishing deal at the age of 20.
Jully continued to release her own songs (including top 40
hit "Rally'n," "You've Changed" from the Brown Sugar
Soundtrack and "I Travelled" which appears on Women &
Songs 7), as well as write for international superstars
such as Esthero, Nas and Destiny's Child. "Writing for
Destiny's Child was huge for me," Jully says. "It was
amazing to hear them sing something I wrote in my bedroom
on my guitar."
And while her songs sound phenomenal when others sing
them, when they come out of Jully's mouth directly, it'll
send chills up and down your spine. "My absolute favourite
thing to do is perform. It doesn't matter if there are two
people in the audience, I just love to do it." She's
already opened for Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Usher, and looks
forward to sharing a stage with her favourites; Etta
James, Anita Baker, James Brown, Mary J. Blige and Lauryn
Hill. In the tradition of her influences, Jully's is a no
holds barred approach. When she's up on that stage, either
acoustically or with a full band behind her, you know
she's drawing on every emotion, embracing her audience and
throwing herself into every note.
Even in hard times, like when her U.S. record label MCA
closed its doors, Jully believes in experiencing emotions
to her fullest extent. "I'll keep it real, I fell right
down on my face and cried," she says. "But then Bangladesh
changed my life." Jully travelled to the country for two
weeks as part of a MuchMusic documentary on the working
conditions in the garment industry. "Living amongst the
natives, going into the factories and seeing the women not
allowed to wear shoes or take breaks while they made our
clothes, it put everything into perspective and made me
think about what we take for granted."
So Jully got back on her grind, taking advantage of every
opportunity and accepting new challenges including
mentoring, promoting and acting. She currently organizes a
live series entitled Glow The Show, which exposes
up-and-coming female artists and allows them to learn more
about the music industry. Jully's also joined the cast of
the acclaimed Mirvish production of Da Kink In My Hair at
Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre from January 11 to
February 27. "It's about the black woman's plight and
struggle with self-love and how her hair is symbolic of
her journey, strengths and weaknesses," explains Jully.
"This was a challenge because I'm singing, dancing and
acting."
When reflecting back on her 10 years as a professional
singer/songwriter/performer, Jully knows what she's most
proud of. "My biggest accomplishment is gaining
international recognition while being able to maintain my
maple leaf status," she says. And although Jully always
represents Canada, she sees music's ability to stretch
beyond borders and boundaries. "Music is the only language
that every race, every nation can speak and understand."
She adds, "Music is medicine."
And now Jully's ready to deliver a large dose of music
that's all her own. Her debut album, This Is Me, is an
honest representation of Jully's sultry soul laced with
hip-hop, pop, reggae and dub. She wrote on 13 songs, and
worked with renowned producers such as the Soul Diggas
(Missy, Madonna, Destiny's Child) as well as homegrown
heroes Saukrates and Agile. "Forget winning the lotto
numbers, I'm so excited it's happening for real," Jully
exclaims with her unbridled enthusiasm. "If it was my
wedding day, maybe this is what it would feel like. But I
feel like the bride, I feel like I had a new baby, I feel
everything!"
No matter what she's doing at any given moment, Jully will
continue to put her all into everything she does. And when
it comes to balancing and prioritizing her work, she keeps
her passions in check with one signature thought. "Even if
it's a matter of me being really tired, I have a simple
mandate," she says. "I do what I love first. That's the
Jully Black rule."
