Julia Bardo

Julia Bardo was born and raised in Brescia, a small city in northern Italy, where she sang and wrote lyrics for a local band between shifts working at her father’s bar. She felt uninspired by the music she was contributing to and the life she was leading, so she packed her bags for Manchester three years ago, despite knowing no one in the city, and hasn’t looked back.

Her debut EP Phase is out March 6 via Wichita Recordings.
