Today, we’re joined by Julia King, a singer-songwriter and performing artist whose music carries soul, sincerity, and a strong sense of place. Raised on a family chicken farm on the South Fork of Long Island, music was always close to her heart. During college, she spent formative time in Nashville, a city whose creative pulse and music culture left a lasting impression, even if her path hadn’t turned fully toward songwriting just yet. After graduating, Julia spent the next decade working in the Long Island wine industry, building a life rooted in community, connection, and craft. But music, always present in the background, eventually became impossible to ignore.
Now based on the North Fork, Julia has become a vital part of the region’s growing original music scene, bringing her voice, her stories, and her authenticity to a stage hungry for new sounds and honest song. With releases like Radio Therapy and Inside Out, she’s proven herself an artist unafraid to evolve, reflect, and step into the truth of her own voice. Today, we talk about the winding journey that brought her back to music, the influences that shaped her, and the creative community she’s helping to build right here on the East End.
