About

German Singer-Songwriter & Pianist Julian Moreen puts acoustic piano and electric guitar at the forefront of his characteristic sound, creating an atmospheric, yet driven soundscape that unfolds somewhere between folk music, modern jazz and indie rock. Paired with his expressive voice, his music is narrative, almost meditative at times, only to soon again “burst with the energy of a late summer storm” (German Newspaper BZ, 2018). 

The common theme of his songwriting is that of storytelling. Musically and lyrically, his songs take listeners on an “often melancholic, yet optimistic” journey, looking at the world the way it is, but with the glass always half full. Here, his poetic lyrics build on beautiful melodies interweaved with subtle harmonies, world rhythms and vibrant grooves, while always leaving room for improvisation by the unique voices of his stellar band.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music, he moved to New York and started soon to perform regularly at clubs in the city. In fall 2018, he went on his first Asia tour in Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore including national radio and news appearances. In 2019, he recorded his first EP and went on a second tour of Asia, which now included an invitation for a mainstage performance at Taichung Jazz Festival (Taiwan) in front of an estimated fifty-thousand people. 

Recent performances in 2022 included the renowned Jazz Open Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, as the opening act for Jorjia Smith, Celeste and Suzanne Vega as well as a second invitation for a special 9-piece band performance at Taichung Jazz Festival.

His debut album is now finished and is set to be released in 2024.
