Julia Sommer, a 17 year old singer-songwriter, from the Lehigh Valley is currently a senior at the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts. As early as 8 years old, Julia started writing her own songs. She expressed an interest in learning guitar so her parents enrolled her in The School of Rock and there she took guitar, vocal and drum lessons for three years.

Earlier this year Julia was awarded the "Discover Lehigh Valley's DISCOVERED ARTIST Award. She was honored to accept the invitation to perform at the Levitt Pavillion Music Awards Winners Preview Weekend in May. Many other wonderful opportunities have afforded her to perform at venues such as the Highline Ballroom in New York City, Hotel Bethlehem, and The Sands Event Center. Most recently, she performed on several stages at Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA, doing solo shows as well as sharing the stage with her father, Werner Sommer, also a musician.

Recent highlights include auditions for American Idol and NBC’s The Voice. Her first studio audition in Philadelphia landed her a 2nd call back in New York City. She also performed at music industry events that included Launch Music Conference and a Singer-Songwriter Conference where she debuted several originals.

She is currently working on recording her first EP of her original songs which will feature her signature powerhouse vocals. Future performance dates will include both local and national dates. Tentative dates include a few international appearances for 2018!
