Her first solo album 'Into The West' went platinum in its first week of sales in New Zealand, achieving four times platinum sales.

Yulia's albums "Into the West" and "Montage" had three top 40 radio hits in New Zealand, "Into the West", "Angel" and "We're All Alone". Yulia has a coloratura mezzo soprano singing voice.
Yulia moved to New Zealand to live, from Russia in 2002.

2) A spanish singer.
3) Yulia (Julia Czub) is a Warsaw-born artist, lyricist, poet, writer and journalist, now set to electrify the European alt-pop scene. Her sound aesthetic channels the raw dark ambience of the post-Eastern Bloc music underground supported by fresh and naturalistic vocals. She received a BA (Hons) degree in Politics at King’s College London and MA degree in International Journalism at City, University of London, what is reflected in her observant and socio-politically conscious narrative. Her upcoming EP ‘Warsaw Mule’ is a nostalgic ballad about an identity crisis induced by living in two highly polarised cities – Warsaw and London. As a protagonist Yulia is guiding the listener through the stuffiness of Hackney bars, the rawness of Warsaw after parties and the melancholy of painful, hungover flights. ‘Warsaw Mule’ is Yulia’s audio-visual project, which she is creating in collaboration with the most exciting, rising Warsaw creatives. By inviting her friends and friends of friends, who work in the various creative fields such as photography, music and film production, fashion and graphic design to help her build a multidimensional concept project based on her songs, she wanted to reflect the authenticity of the storyline, which directly relates to the magnetism of the modern Warsaw bourgeois bohemian community.
Scarborough fair
Yulia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
The lyrics to Yulia's "Scarborough Fair" tell a story of a man who is asking a woman to complete certain tasks in order to prove her love. The man asks for a cambric shirt with no seams or needlework, an acre of land, and for the land to be reaped using a sickle of leather and gathered in a bunch of heather. The woman is instructed to use the herbs of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme to bring about the desired outcome. The song is a conversation between the man and a friend asking if they plan to go to Scarborough Fair and to remember him to whom he once loved.
The significance of the herbs in the song represents the ancient tradition and belief that herbs have magical and spiritual powers to help with love, health, and prosperity. In this case, the man is using the herbs as a symbol to show his love and to request the woman's love in return. The tasks that he asks of her are difficult and near impossible, showing that he is testing her love and loyalty. The song ends with a call to the woman who lives in Scarborough, the place where the fair takes place, as a longing for what once was.
