Born in Indianapolis, USA and raised in The Netherlands as Julia van der Toorn, this lauded Dutch singer and songwriter first started taking saxophone lessons and began singing in a band with her brother and the boy next door aged 9. After 5 years they split up and she learned to play the guitar. Since then she’s won The Voice Of Holland in 2013 and The Best Singers Of The Netherlands in 2015. Inspired by artists like John Mayer and Dutch singer Anouk, she debuted with “You And I” in 2014.

Inspiring us to create a little bit of heaven on earth for ourselves and everyone around us every day, her new single encourages some positivity in an otherwise negative world. Wrapping her plea for change in an cushiony-soft, soulful melody, this song gently strokes our ears with laid-back, sunlit notes. With a soothing rhythm, rippling guitars and a touch of smooth horns creating a mellow summer vibe, it’s her enchanting vocals that feed this tune with a tender warmth.
