With a classically-trained background gained at the Birmingham Conservatoire in the early 90s, Julian Smith soon earned a formidable reputation as an accomplished musician playing in top show orchestras around the United Kingdom including the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company.

An articulate performer on both clarinet and soprano saxophone, Julian went on to impress music mogul Simon Cowell and media personality Piers Morgan with his distinctive neo-classical style when he appeared on the television show Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, and his abilities as a performer were highlighted when he was invited to play on stage with his hero, Kenny G, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

With 6 popular albums to his credit, Julian has played privately by invitation for His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain in London, and now tours the world on an almost weekly basis on international Jazz cruises which take him from Alaska to New Zealand and everywhere in between.
