Artist of the week
Julian Perretta
Born January 13th, 1989, Julian Perretta is a singer-songwriter born and raised in north London.
At 16, he left school, auditioning succesfully for a course at the prestigious drama centre, RADA, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in central London, intending to pursue a career as an actor.
When his course ended he began writing and producing material with the members of the band Jamiroquai, influenced heavily musically by artists such as David Bowie, Elton John, Hall & Oats and The Zombies. During that time he was introduced to Girls Aloud manager Hillary Shaw.
After much industry competition to sign the youngster, Sony record executives Mike Smith and Nick Huggett heard Perretta's demo tape, and signed him to a seven figure, five album, worldwide recording deal to Columbia Records, Sony BMG, aged 19.
In May 2008, Perretta joined Mark Ronson on a three week European Tour, where he sang The Smiths hit, "Stop Me."
Perretta signed an exclusive publishing agreement as a songwriter, with Universal Music Group in early 2008. He is currently working as a songwriter writer on various projects for other artists both in the UK and U.S.
His debut album, according to Music Week, is due for release early 2009.[1]
