Working with new people can be really hard and nerve-wracking. When you don’t know the person, it’s like being on a blind date.

JULIA MICHAELSIt never feels like work. I get to go to the studio and be with my friends every day and write new things and experiment with new sounds. We just have a blast.
JULIA MICHAELSI grew up in Davenport, Iowa, but I moved to Santa Clarita, California, when I was 6.
JULIA MICHAELSMy boyfriend and I like to fight a lot. I have a lot of problems. He has a lot of problems. Somehow, we always work them out and find a way back to each other.
JULIA MICHAELSIf I get writer’s block – this is going to sound funny – I take a shower. Something about the water feels like I’m cleaning my brain as well as my body.
JULIA MICHAELSIt’s ingrained in people’s minds that it’s a typecast and a stereotype that women are just emotional and crazy.
JULIA MICHAELSI’m very emotional and vulnerable.
JULIA MICHAELSI had all these singles come out within a two-month period, and then nothing for almost two years. You start to feel a little irrelevant. You realize how many people there are trying to be songwriters and how competitive it is and how political things can be.
JULIA MICHAELSMy sister was the singer, and I always had the mentality there could only be one in the family.
JULIA MICHAELSI could make apple pie every single day. You need to be super precise in order for it to be perfect. I’m such a perfectionist that baking is calming for me. I’ve never burnt anything, thank God.
JULIA MICHAELSI would give anything to hold your hands like this again.
JULIA MICHAELSMy favorite food is hot Cheetos. I could eat those every day.
JULIA MICHAELSI just want to write fun, interesting music that pushes boundaries and is still true to myself. I want people to feel something.
JULIA MICHAELSIf you listen to the radio, it’s all men who are emotional and women who are sexual. There’s nothing wrong with that! It definitely should be the case, but it makes me sad that women are afraid to be emotional because it makes them look weak.
JULIA MICHAELSI definitely always thought of myself as a songwriter before a singer.
JULIA MICHAELSStylistically, things are becoming cooler. People are trying different things and combining genres.
