Our featured musician this Sunday will be Julia Fedec. At 21 years old, Julia Fedec has kicked off her music career with works that have been carried with her for years. For Julia, music has been the outlet through which she explores herself and the world around her – the only outlet that seemed apt to express the beauties and pains of vulnerability, finding inner strength and the complexities of life. Julia only started performing publicly in 2018, and is in the process of writing and recording new music to release. You can check out a sampling of her music here: https://soundcloud.com/ueds/tracks
