Julie has been a member of various choirs
since the age of seven, and started her percussion education when she was
accepted into a music scholarship program at Perth Modern School, where
Julie was involved in many ensembles. Julie learnt drumming to further her
percussion skills, but her drumming has advanced to encompass many styles
that more experienced drummers find difficult to achieve. By being a
member of Smooth, Julie has gained much
practical and professional
experience about the live music industry.
