" To sing is to love and affirm, to fly and soar, to coast to the hearts of the people who listen, to tell them that life is to live, that love is there, that beauty exists, and must be hunted for and found." Joan Baez
Juliet's debut CD, A Promise of Return, was produced, recorded and mixed by Rob Seals (www.robseals.com) at The Sound Boutique Studios, Burbank, Los Angeles, located in The Song Writing School of Los Angeles (www.thesongwritingschool.com) , and was mastered by Gavin Lurssen and Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering in Hollywood. Gavin won his third Grammy for his work on the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album, 'Raising Sand', which won album of the year and Reuben worked extensively on the award-winning soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire. They also worked on the soundtrack for 'Crazy Heart' which won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2010 and also mastered the soundtrack for 'Up', which won the Oscar for Best Film Soundtrack. Recent films with soundtracks mastered at Lurssen Mastering include 'The Help', 'Bridesmaids' and 'Cars 2'.
In November 2011 Juliet performed at The Esplanade in Singapore where she was joined by the Singapore based group, Veda9. Their new album will be released this year and on it Juliet plays the flute and sings backing vocals on their song 'In Time'.
Juliet will be performing again at The National Theatre on Saturday 25th Feb. 2012 at 1pm and 5.45pm.
“Juliet's songs have such a marvellous intensity and integrity to them. They feel like old English folk songs that might have been sung for generations. We worked hard to make them at once sonically contemporary and aesthetically timeless. The instrumental compositions have all the moving elements of a great film score. It was an honor to help this talented artist record her first record.” Rob Seals, Producer
" Juliet is a very special actor/singer. Her music is very entertaining and enjoyable. But what makes her music so special is that she sings from the heart - a heart that is sensitive and generous. It is her gift to us."
David Suchet, Actor
