Julia Vari

Text</p><p>Description automatically generated with low confidence

Award-winning international recording artist Julia Vari has enchanted audiences around the globe for over a decade with her unique fusions of jazz, world music, and Latin rhythms.  Vari’s creative musical arrangements, extraordinary stage presence and vocal technique, and subtle yet elegant piano stylings have brought her considerable success both within and outside Latin America, including five solo albums and recent performances at Mexico City’s National Auditorium “Lunario,” the CARIFESTA International Festival in Haiti, Real Carlos Aranjuez Theater in Spain, National Arts Center in Ottawa, and the CLAZZ Latin Festival (sharing the stage with Arturo Sandoval), and the Eclectic Music Festival in Los Angeles.

The multilingual singer-songwriter and pianist has toured extensively through the U.S., Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Spain behind a pair of ground-breaking, chart-topping full-length album releases: a jazz-inflected fusion titled Lumea: Songs of the World in Jazz, followed by Adoro. Both albums soared to the top of the jazz-blues charts in Latin America, competing with artists such as Michael Bublé and Diana Krall, and leading her to share the stage and collaborate with musical icons such as Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, Armando Manzanero, Grammy-winning singer Luciana Souza, Grammy-winning producer Robert Hadley, Latin Grammy- winning producer Mario Santos, and Latin Grammy-nominated artist Francisco Cespedes.

Julia Vari now divides her time between Miami and Mexico City, and is proud voting member of the Grammy Recording Academy, a BMI songwriter, and a William Morris Endeavor Agency exclusive artist for Voice Overs.  Vari also performs as a Headliner on luxury cruise lines.
