Amsterdam-based Juliet has been winning the hearts of fans of introspective pop songs for quite some time. Juliet is the alias of musician and lyricist Julia Schellekens (29). With her authentic voice and sharp lyrics, Juliet delivers a distinctive sound right at the intersection of pop and cabaret. She sings about small sorrows and big thoughts. On social media, she’s gone viral with her hilarious 30-second songs, racking up millions of views.
Meanwhile, television audiences across the Netherlands got to know the cheerful Juliet through her appearance on the popular quiz show De Slimste Mens, and legendary radio host Frits Spits even pulled his car over after hearing one of her passionate songs. “Sometimes there are songs that make you stop the car. Lyrically powerful. Narrative and musical. I find it very impressive. Juliet – we need to remember that name,” said Frits Spits.
Now, Juliet is going on her first tour with her self-titled EP ‘Uiteen’. ‘Uiteen’ explores what it means to come from a broken home and how her parents’ divorce still impacts her young adult (love) life today. The show is a compelling mix of melancholic, narrative-driven songs, heartfelt anecdotes, and a healthy dose of the 30-second songs fans have come to expect from Juliet.
