Julian Lamadrid is an expressive singer-songwriter who uses his soulful vocals to deliver catchy tracks in incredibly creative ways.
A force to be reckoned with, Julian is not what you would expect from your average 18-year-old. He’s a singer, songwriter, producer and filmmaker and he’s pushing his enlightened vision into the public eye. Having lived briefly in Mexico before moving to Dubai, Julian Lamadrid comes from an extensively cultured background and boasts an incredible wealth of life experience. Julian gained success with his first EP with his track, ‘Understand‘, going viral and reaching number 3 on Spotify’s Top viral 50 charts worldwide. Following the success of his last release, Julian has just dropped his second EP, Untouched, with his song ‘Marimba’ garnering a wealth of attention.
Taking inspiration from the worldwide technological shift and the importance, if not obsession, with social media in today’s society, ‘Marimba’ takes inspiration directly from the iPhone. Sampling the recognisable Marimba ringtone, Julian narrates the workings of a modern day relationship and the importance technology and social media now play. The video is ingenious and illustrates the underlying connotations perfectly. Displaying a number of social platforms on the screen of a phone, the video portrays the main sources of communication in a modern day relationship. Using apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, this emerging talent displays how physical interaction has been predominantly replaced by social and online tools. The message is strong and powerful and Julian Lamadrid’s passionate, moving vocals render the message superbly.
