Release Notes:

Anti-normative behavior is expected from most successful artists. There
is little reason for them to pay much attention to the Top 40, since
worthwhile artists do not derive their material from popular opinion
It may seem like a bold statement, but there is little purpose in
devoting a large amount of time to a songwriter who sounds like
everyone else on the radio. Listeners come to expect innovation but
there is often a personal struggle for artists that wish to find the
middle ground between accustomed accessibility and staggering
innovation. This process often cannot be resolved through practice
though, as the proper ideology appears to be embedded within the
talented scope of an artist whether it is before they start writing
songs or not. If one has a tendency to gravitate toward the
unconventional in the early stages of their life, it can provide good
indication of such an embedded ideology. When Julian Velard was in his
teens and started to become wildly interested in music, one can imagine
the social circumstances that surrounded him. Unlike today's auto-tuned
R&B and subliminally linear pop music, the 29-year-old experienced the
likes of Pavement, Nirvana, and the Pixies when music began to first
tickle his ears. He enjoyed the emerging genres of grunge and
indie-rock but, unlike his peers, much of Velard's attention was
diverted elsewhere: cabaret-style pop music

While Velard's similar adoration for stylistically contrasting groups
like XTC, Hall & Oates, and Rage Against the Machine is indicative of
his eclectic persona, his favoritism for piano-based cabaret pop in the
vein of Elton John and Randy Newman shows most prominently in his
music. However, Velard is not guilty of exploiting the past, as he
allows his steady influences to be effected by components of
contemporary pop music in order to ease the transition for his
modernistic audience. Similarly to Rufus Wainwright, Velard's demanding
presence as a performer, vocalist, and songwriter is a simultaneous
force that appears both on record and on stage. Hearkening back to the
days of cabaret, he is a multi-instrumental whiz who uses his highly
melodic vocals, engaging storytelling ability, and key-based
instrumentation to construct a wide arsenal of uplifting pop hooks and
melancholic ballads. In Velard s case, this force is also inherent
behind his webcam. Success has never been immediate for the NYC-based
songwriter, but his practice of recording cover songs by the likes of
Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Kings of Leon has provided him with
nearly one million views on YouTube, being very symbolic of Velard's
method of obtaining success thus far. Although he has yet to attain
substantial recognition in the US, Velard's online fanbase continues to
grow both domestically and internationally due to his personable online
presence.
