BIO:
British Singer Songwriter Julia Fordham burst into the music scene in 1988 on Virgin Records with the International hit “Happy Ever After.”
Then followed her critically acclaimed album “Porcelain,” which included the popular songs “Manhattan Skyline” and “Lock and Key.”
Julia has just finished her latest CD. A collaboration with Paul Reiser ("Mad About You"). Actor/comedian and classically trained pianist, they wrote and recorded an album of original songs which is expected to be released in the Fall.
China Blue, Julia’s tenth record, is a jazz record comprised of original songs written by Julia and produced and arranged by the wonderfully talented multi-instrumentalist Grant Mitchell. One exception is the cover version of “I Keep Forgettin” with Michael McDonald lending his amazing vocals.
Julia’s most precious collection of songs, “Baby Love,” is a 6 song EP and was released as a worldwide exclusive through iTunes. Inspired by her little girl, “Baby Love” combines Julia’s jazzy, yet soulful vocal range, and her love for her daughter Marley Rose.
After a long and illustrious career, selling millions of records worldwide on Virgin Records and three releases on Vanguard Records, including a live CD and accompanying DVD, “That’s Live” was recorded and filmed at the House of Blues in Hollywood and released in 2005. Produced by Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock, Madeline Peyroux), it included an all star band and featured a stunning duet on the song “Concrete Love” with Grammy Award winning artist India.Arie and trumpet player/composer (“Crash”) Mark Isham.
After the Tsunami in 2004, an old school chum of Julia’s enlisted her to remix “Happy Ever After” with the proceeds going towards rebuilding a school in Cuddalore. Along with record producer Grant Mitchell, Julia re-recorded the song with a group of children from the Ashington School in West Sussex, UK. In February ’07, Julia was delighted to attend the school opening in India.
