Hailed by the press as “the voice of an angel [whose] poise and command of the stage is both mesmerizing and captivating,” (Debra Graff, Sleepless in Studio City), internationally-reknowned singer, songwriter and pianist Julia Vari “shines whether performing pop, jazz, or various Latin music styles, all of which she can deftly sing in eight different languages.” (George Varga, San Diego Union Tribune). Recognized as “without a doubt the most important voice of her genre in Mexico” (Mario Moreno Ivanova, son of Cantinflas), the multilingual artist has enchanted audiences around the globe for nearly a decade, including recent performances at Mexico City’s National Auditorium, the CARIFESTA International Festival in Haiti, Harlem Jazz Club in Barcelona, National Arts Center in Ottawa, CLAZZ Latin Festival (sharing the stage with Arturo Sandoval), and Vitello’s E Spot in Los Angeles. She has toured extensively through the U.S., Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Spain behind a pair of ground-breaking, chart-topping full-length album releases: a jazz-inflected fusion titled Lumea: Songs of the World in Jazz (2013), followed by Adoro (2015). The latter featured a soul-stirring collaboration with the legendary Armando Manzanero for which the disc was eponymously named. Both albums soared to the top of the jazz-blues charts in Latin America, competing with artists such as Michael Buble and Diana Krall.
The child of a classically-trained pianist mother and an accomplished guitar player father, Vari bounced back and forth for many years between USA and Mexico, as well as some time spent in Europe; as a result, she has long considered herself a citizen of the world. She studied voice, piano theory, and composition at the reknowned Eastman School of Music, as well as musical theater at New York University.
With an extraordinary voice that can growl its way through a torchy love song one moment, go operatic the next and then shift smoothly into pop, swing, or any other musical idiom, Vari is formally concerned with fusions, blends and hybrids. Her unparalleled vocal charisma is at equally home with jazz, Latin, pop, world rhythms, flamenco, or classical music, and perhaps more so in those unmined spaces where those overlap. She has been called the “Diana Krall of Mexico,” often surprising her audience with her piano stylings, and more recently has been known to perform solo piano-voice concerts.
Julia Vari now divides her time between Miami and Mexico City, where she has worked closely with award-winning producer/arranger Mario Santos (Gustavo Dudamel, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Alejandro Sanz), as well as John Avila (Oingo Boingo), Grammy-winning engineer Robert Hadley, and the famed Cuban “trovador” Francisco Cespedes.
Julia Vari is also a proud voting member of the Latin Recording Academy (LARAS), a BMI songwriter, and a William Morris Endeavor Agency exclusive artist for Voice Overs.
