Julia Messenger has been dubbed a 'world - class' singer by fans and press alike. Her songs and productions have appeared on albums alongside the likes of Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Moby, Bebel Gilberto, Boozoo Bajou, Nitin Sawhney, Groove Armada, Ursula Rucker, Goldfrapp, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Zero 7, Rae & Christian, Basement Jaxx, Bebel Gilberto, Jamie Callum, Sarah McLachlan and Julee Cruise.
As a songwriter/singer and producer she has co-written and appeared on albums with legendary musicians of our time such as Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream/ Alphaville), Ferry Corsten (#5 DJ in the world today), Kraftwerk and the list goes on.
Termed in the Electronic world as the 'Queen of Chill', she is as much at home singing Jazz as she is at being one of the 'rare strokes of luck in the electronic music scene'.
Earlier in 2011, Julia recorded a Live Album at Australia's Premier Jazz Club Bennetts Lane over two sell out nights. She formerly released this album at a further sell out show at Bennetts Lane in November 2011, after her return from a successful European tour.

‘Julia Messenger is a happening act to follow.
(At the Jazzkeller Krefeld Germany) … we heard a voice destined for big things.
The diminutive singer has a voice powerful enough to be on a level with the best soul singers, both black and white.
Her tone nevertheless remained svelte and lucid, and with sophistication and restrained rasping she showed in her phrasing a distinct similarity to Julia Driscoll. She consistently used her voice with great assuredness – sometimes it was very expressive, sometimes coquettishly shy, and while the tempo remained moderate her singing was full of emotion with a gospel style.
…the genre of Jazz is something that Julia Messenger masters superbly.’
