Allen Julius

"If it makes you laugh, use it" -- the whiteboard above Allen Julius' recording space.

A songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and goofball extraordinaire, Allen Julius (Toronto, ON) fearlessly blends his eclectic musical upbringing with contemporary songwriting. Whether it's flashbacks of mama blasting ABBA on chore day or kuya teaching him R&B runs to "impress girls, trust", music serves as an integral mainstay of Julius' day to day.

As a freelance vocalist of over 16 years, Julius has contributed to both JUNO-award winning projects (Ottawa Bach Choir 2020) and startup ensembles alike. When not working as a tenor, you can find him writing songs into the wee hours of the night or contributing guitar/bass/piano parts to his friends' projects. Thematically, his songs touch upon traumas from anxiety, identity and self-acceptance.

Significant inspirations include: Billy Joel, Panic! at the Disco, the Beatles, Queen and Bruno Mars.

His latest EP, "One Man Victory Parade" releases on January 30, 2023, a follow up to his debut album. "Smiley Guy" (2021).
