D.Julien was born in Brooklyn, New York. He's an artist that got into Hip Hop at a young age. He thrives on making "life" music. Music that everyone can relate to - no matter age, race, music preference, etc. Growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, he's been through his share of rap battles. He realized in 2004 that it was time to create music. He knew at an early age he'd have to take a different approach with his music. "I just want to be viewed as a very eclectic artist and I don't want my style to be compared to anyone elses." says D.Julien. This mentality allows him to make the unique music that he does as he still maintains that New York demeanor.
"I'm a fan of all types of music. I honestly listen to every genre of music and try to incorporate some of that in my music in attempts to broaden my fan base". This shows that D.Julien is listening and has studied various forms of music. By doing that, he has incorporated what he's learned and saw from previous artists and tried to mix that with his style to create music of the future. D.Julien is a lyricist/poet/storyteller that makes music for the masses. His ideas/concepts are way beyond his age. He understood that being a young artist, he'd have to show people that he was worth listening to and he would be the face of music for years to come.
His first solo mixtape, "Let Me Introduce Myself" was released July 17, 2008 and it was done to really get his foot in the door. Unsure of direction, D.Julien put that first project out to see how the masses would respond to his debut. The response was overwhelming enough to warrant him continuing to pursue his dream. His second project, "The Experiment" was released on February 17, 2009. It was downloaded over 5,000 times and it really gave D.Julien a steady fanbase and some looks. D.Julien's sound was truly identified in this project as the young artist let his direction and goal be known in it. It was very versatile and was critically acclaimed. His latest project, "Live, Love, Learn" was released July 1, 2009. It has been downloaded more than 8,000 times which clearly shows the rise in D.Julien's fanbase. The future is bright for this prodigy. Get on board and support! Check out all of the projects above or at www.djulienmusic.com.
His music ranges anywhere from political issues to his personal experiences which gives us authentic music to listen to. "I think a lot of artists are scared to think outside of the box. The artists that are cliche and fail to challenge their minds to make more creative and enjoyable music for the masses are the artists that will not be successful when hip hop starts to evolve more rapidly. Hip Hop is a movement. Rap as a genre of music is part of that movement. Other music such as House, Techno, Rock, etc. are now being accepted into the Hip Hop movement. So as an artist, to maximize your fan base an to be keep it fresh you have to be creative and embody some of these genres of music and be different." says D.Julien. He has a great understanding of music currently and for music of the future.
D.Julien's style attracts fans from all over the world. D.Julien works hard to make his music not just meet his own personal standards but to surpass the expectations of his fans all over.

D.Julien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Excited to know more
I will not fear her
I sprayed em down and I wiped em off
Now they're so much clearer
Forever intrigued by the depth of my reflection
Reflecting on correcting
What really was not me
The compilated beauty of this life that I'm living
And becoming illusion free
What do you see
What do you see
In These Mirrors
What do you see
What do you see
Inside of you
Were you rejecting what you're reflecting too
How do you feel
How do you feel
With what you know
How do you feel
How do you feel
About the show you're watching
In These Mirrors
They're watching through These Mirrors
Mirrors
oooooooooo
oooooooooo
What do you see
What do you see
How do you feel
How do you feel
I'm deciding what needs work as I investigate myself
Learning I lack nothing that I always had my wealth
Now that I'm looking at it the picture is so much clearer
It's not a picture at all
It's just me looking in These Mirrors
What do you see
What do you see
How do you feel
How do you feel
Were you rejecting what you're reflecting too
What do you know
What do you know
About These Mirrors
What do you know
What do you know
About you you you you you you you you you
