"The World's Youngest Drummer!"®

Playing the drums while sitting atop his father's lap since the age of three months, this rhythmic child began keeping a steady beat in his mother's womb! Just 4-years old, he has graduated from the high chair and no longer stands to play the bass and high hat pedals. He sits on a miniature stool and plays an 11-piece custom drum set with 11 cymbals and a double kick. He plays rock, funk, fusion and jazz beats with his Vic Firth Signature Series sticks on Innovation Drums and Sabian Cymbals – all three companies having given him full artist endorsements! He also prefers Remo drum skins. His favorite bands to rock to include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Chicago, TOTO, Rush, Earth, Wind and Fire, Journey, Commodores, Parliament, Stephanie K and The Detroit Katz, Barry White, and Santana.

Many consider Julian to be the “Tiger Woods of the Music Industry”. He was offered a contract to be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Drumline at age 15 months (making him the youngest member by 16 years!). Then, at 20 months, Julian recorded a CD, “Go Baby!”, with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong. Trapper Jack, from Cleveland’s radio station, WDOK 102.1, broke the story and Julian has been shocking audiences ever since.

He has appeared on 29 TV shows, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, “Good Morning America”, “Martha Stewart”, “Inside Edition”, “MSNBC”, “WGN”, “FOX News Dayside”, “WKYC’s Good Company”, and in July 2008 he will appear on Japan’s #1 television show, “Amazing Stories”. He has also starred in a television show pilot, “Finding Julian’s Band” and had a Korean documentary produced by Seoul Broadcasting Systems aired about him.

He has performed live on numerous radio stations around the world, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Indians, at VIP parties for the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers’ season home openers, at the House of Blues, at the Cleveland Grand Prix opening ceremonies, at the largest classic car show in the world, and at the NBA semi-finals for the Detroit Pistons.

He has inspired a series of children’s books, led to the formation of Harmonie Network (a national entertainment and music company), launched his own clothing line, invented “Abracadabra” Stain Cover-up, was featured in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not! The Remarkable…Revealed”, was honored at the Hard Rock Cleveland with “The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award”, was recognized by Senator John Pappageorge, and received worldwide media coverage with over 6,000 newspaper and magazine articles written about him.

He is currently working on his second CD with 4 time-Grammy Award winning producer, Michael J. Powell and just finished his first year of prekindergarten. All of this accomplished by his fourth birthday!
