LiveFreeFriday | Meet Julia Nunes.
A songwriter who sings about love and life, Julia Nunes has been taking off this past year. Since finding early success and a large following on YouTube, she’s gone on to perform at Bonnaroo, SXSW, and Conan, and to share the stage with Weezer, Amanda Palmer and Katy Perry.
The singer tells popular YouTuber Miles Jai about coming out. “I told my parents I was dating a person, and then when they learned more about the gender of that person they were like, ‘Are you happy?’” she says. “A lot of people just assume that I am a lesbian because I’m with a woman. And then a lot of people have referred to me as bi. So the label that feels best to me is just, ‘not straight’.”
This spring she toured with her band and promoted her album that includes songs like “Makeout” which she strums on the ukelele for Miles Jai. She lives tobacco-free because she wants to be good to herself. While she knows that some people smoke when they go out, she finds other ways to enjoy the nightlife. “I want to treat myself right. I want to do something that maybe will make my night go better,” she says. “How about I go talk to that person or dance to this beat.” Sounds like a good time to us.
