Recognized for her extraordinary stage presence, outstanding vocal technique, and thoughtful and unique musical arrangements, Julia Vari is currently one of the most active and sought-after vocalists in the Mexican and international jazz scene. Julia has performed at the most important festivals, theaters, and cultural forums throughout Latin America, Europe and the U.S. Her second solo album, “Lumea: songs of the world in jazz,” as well as her new album “Adoro” (Mexican music in jazz), immediately soared to the “Top 5” on the jazz charts in Mexican and online music stores, competing with artists such as Diana Krall and Michael Buble. Julia has shared the stage and collaborated with artists such as Arturo Sandoval and Armando Manzanero.

Julia Vari was born with music in her blood, as her mother is a pianist and her father plays the guitar. After having studying voice, piano, theory and composition at the prestigious Eastman School of Music, as well as musical theater at New York University, Julia has traveled around the world participating in different concerts and musical events, and sings in eight different languages. She is known for her fusions of music from different countries, languages and genres into fresh and original jazz arrangements.

Since her return to music in 2011, Julia has performed at the Lunario (part of Mexico’s largest Auditorium), Zocalo (Mexico City’s main plaza), CEIBA International Festival (Tabasco, Mexico), Pablo Villavicencio Theater (Sinaloa, Mexico), IGA Theater (Guatemala), Fedenador Theater (Ecuador), KAKV Cultural Forum (Spain), Museo del Chico (Colombia), FEPADE Theater (El Salvador), among many others, including cultural forums in the U.S., Spain, Italy, and Romania. She has also participated in many well-known Mexican and international radio and TV programs.
