Originally from Mexico but born and raised in the United Arab Emirates, the creative 18 year old uncommonly blends a wide array of genres to sonically create a unique and invigorating style of pop.
Delving between the hectic sounds of commercialism and the lavish dynamics of underground RnB, Julian’s music aims to encapsulate his life-long journey growing up in the city.
Launched on the 9th of April 2016, his first single “Krule Love” plays around the themes of reckless youth and modern day relationships.
“Debut” has been penned for a May 21st 2016 release date.
This fresh-faced kid is set on changing the world.

Alright
You've been waiting all your fucking life
And you've been racing all through the night
I know you wanna die young
You've been praying for some kinda sign
Even if it means you'll loose your mind
I know you wanna die young
I know you wanna die young
And you've been looking for a boy or girl
Traveling around the whole wide world
I know you wanna die young
I think you wanna die young
You've been running from it all your life
You never really found a place to hide
I know you wanna die young
I think You wanna die young
And you've been looking for a quick escape
The clock is ticking and its getting late
I know you wanna die young
I guess you wanna die young
And you know that I really love your soul
But baby girl I think your loosing control
You wanna die young
I think You wanna die young
And Tony called and said he wanted more
He left his brains on the piano floor
I know you wanna die young
I think you wanna die young
You check the mirror and you look insane
You're sick and fucking tired of this twisted game
I know you wanna die young
I think you wanna die young
And you could slowly drift into the light
All you gotta do is close your eyes
I know you wanna die young
I know you wanna die young
And you can go ahead and take your life
But could you stay with me for one more night
I know you wanna die young
I know you wanna die young
But I want you
to hold on tight
To fight the darkness with all your might
I know you wanna die young
But I want you to stay and live your life
The lyrics of "Die Young" by Julian Lamadrid explore the theme of a person who is longing for a release from their pain and struggles, expressing a desire to die young. The song captures the conflicting emotions and inner turmoil that can arise from feeling trapped and seeking an escape. The repeated line "I know you wanna die young" suggests a sense of understanding or empathy towards the person's state of mind.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and desperation. The mention of waiting and racing all night conveys a feeling of restlessness and impatience. The individual is portrayed as searching for a sign or a quick escape, feeling like time is running out. The lines "You've been running from it all your life" and "You never really found a place to hide" depict a constant battle and a lack of solace.
The song also touches upon the idea of self-destructive behavior and the toll it can take on one's mental health. The mention of a boy or girl and traveling the world suggests a desire for connection and adventure, but it is overshadowed by the overwhelming urge to die young. The reference to Tony, who wanted more and ended up leaving his brains on the piano floor, reflects the consequences of such destructive tendencies.
Overall, "Die Young" expresses a complex mix of emotions, portraying a person longing for an escape from their pain and struggles while also acknowledging the importance of holding on and living life.
