[Title: JULAYAA AND THE DREAM FOR ACHIEVEMENT]
From a young age Julia Pham created YouTube content of her singing her own
meaningful lyrics. In October 2017, the popular music company ‘Independent music’
caught contact with her and officially debuted her as Julayaa after 6 months of
training. From then to present day Julayaa has created 2 mini albums with 1 US tour
at just the age of 18. Many fans have been dying to ask her questions about her
growth as an artist, so I requested a discussion in which she happily agreed to speak.
Here is how my interview with worldwide influencer Julia Pham went.
Meeting at the Nobu Hotel in greater London has never been so simple, we went
straight to room 513 where Julayaa was staying overnight for several events. She sat
openly opposite me at a clean glass table creating a comforting atmosphere which
made this experience one of the best I’ve had overall. Her room was large with her
luggage neatly placed in the corner of the room and outfits sorted by colour hung at
the back of the bedroom door. The blinds were open allowing a beautiful view of the
city through the clear windows. Julayaa had a joyful approach to me smiling and
being kindly accepting this is where I took the honour of asking frequently asked
questions by fans.

and laugh at pessimism”]
Q: I’d firstly like to say hello and thank you for participating in this exclusive
interview for this magazine. We and your fans are interested in what you’ve been up
to. Is there anything you have been doing recently and what do you have planned for
the future?
A: Hello, thank you for having me it’s a pleasure to be here. I have been occupied
while working on my 1st full album over the past few months.
Q: What can we expect from the upcoming album? Can we perhaps have a teaser?
A: Well I’ve written the lyrics all about the emotional rollercoaster of my journey as
an artist and how the hate can really damage self-esteem while love can give hope.
There’s a lot more flavour in the title track I’m sure people are going to love it.
Q: Have you collaborated with any other artists for this album?
A: Fortunately, I was able to collab with Corpse Husband, he was so lovely to work
with too.
Q: Your voice with Corpse’s must sound so good together this sounds like it might hit
number one on the charts. What’s your favourite song of the album?
A: It’s got to be ‘Fatality’ it’s a song about how love affects the important things like
work and mental health. It’s a personal song and I think many people will be able to
relate to it.
Q: I love that you use your own experiences and put it into your music it really adds a
new meaning to the song. Do you get a lot of support?
A: I do, and it really keeps be going. I try my best to show my appreciation for the
love and support I get because love can’t hide the hate, but it can make you appreciate
positivity and laugh at pessimism.
[Subtitle: “Stay by my side, things get better I promise”]
Q: Have you always wanted to be a singer?
A: Yes [Chuckle] I used to upload videos of me singing onto YouTube from the age
of 11. They are very cringe to watch back nowadays.
Q: I’m sure it can’t be that bad [Chuckle]. Have you got any concerts coming up?
A: I have one at Wembley, quite nervous for it actually since it has around 13,000
people coming. That’s Crazy!
Q: Oh wow! I’m so excited for you and I’m sure your fans are ecstatic. Moving onto
fan questions, there has been rumours of you dating corpse husband. anything to say
to that?
A: [laughs] no, we are just close friends he is a very nice guy though I’m sure fan
girls are all over him.
Q: I’m sure [Chuckle] And what do you do in your spare time?
A: usually if I’m not writing music, I often like to draw, that way I can express my
feelings though another media which is quite calming once you do it honestly.
Q: I’ll have to try that some time then. What are your fans to you?
A: My fans are my family. my family is everything to me, without them I would not
be where I am today. I would really like to do a meet and greet one day but I’ll settle
on the ones that cross my path in the meantime.
Q: That’s so sweet. Finally, is there anything you would like to say to your fans?
A: I would be normal and say thank you but honestly, I don’t think those words can
express how grateful I am. I would like to ask my fans to stay by my side no matter
the situation, things get better I promise.
Q: Thank you so much for talking to me today, I hope your album is successful and I
hope you’re happy with the result.
A: It’s been a pleasure, thank you so much for having me here.
