Julia DeTomaso is a singer-songwriter carving out her own space in the indie/alt pop world.

Julia DeTomaso writes songs that feel like late-night confessions—moody, sharp, and unfiltered. Her lyricism is intimate and cutting, capturing the nuance of her internal dialogue and tracing the complexities (and sometimes discrepancies) of her most vulnerable thoughts. With meticulous attention to both words and production, she crafts indie-pop music that doesn’t just tell a story but feels like one. A songwriter since childhood (scribbling her first song at 10 years old) and a seasoned performer, DeTomaso has played hundreds of shows and collaborated on tracks that have amassed millions of streams. After time away from releasing music, she returned with “Fake It” (April 2025), marking a shift toward a more defined and personal creative direction. Her most recent release “Rest” (June 2025) builds on that evolution, with a haunting quality both musically and lyrically. With a singular voice and an instinct for storybringing, Julia DeTomaso is quickly cementing herself as an artist to watch in the indie-pop space.

  • "‘Fake It’ marks a striking return for Julia DeTomaso, one that showcases her gift for storytelling and emotional precision. Vulnerable, honest, and quietly powerful, it’s a standout moment in her evolving artistic journey."
