Julian Hernandez
It is during his performances in both local and regional clubs/restaurants that Julian can be heard doing high quality musical impressions of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Mathis, Louis Armstrong, Luther Vandross and Barry White. While these are stirring renditions of classic hits and they draw raves from the audience, it is when he does the Coles – both father and daughter – that he brings down the house. People simply cannot believe that this beautiful music is coming from one person.
But, Julian's talent does not stop there. Julian wrote and sang on the hit song "Take Me In Your Arms" with Lil Suzy. It sold over 600,000 copies as a single and reached number 48 on the Billboard Chart. He has also performed with such outstanding artists as Ben E. King, The Stylistics, and Christina Aguilera, to name a few.
Julian's recent CD, "Voices From My Heart", on GrooveScape Records, has been very well received. It includes such classic hits as Unforgettable, Beautiful In My Eyes, Lady In Red, Summerwind, Time To Say Goodbye and two duets with Ben E. King – Stand By Me and Only You. The album now appears in many jukeboxes around New York City.
But his success does not stop there. Wherever he goes, wherever he performs ... the people want more. If you listen to one of his albums, you immediately want to see him perform in person.
Julian's hit single – "Can't Go This Way Again" – distributed on TC Records, reached number 46 on the Billboard Chart of "The Top 100".
In addition to Ben E. King, Julian has recorded with such artists as The Delphonics, Shannon (Let The Music Play – reached double platinum), Ray, Goodman & Brown, The Stylistics (14 songs) and on the hit Christina Aguilera album "Just Be Free".
In 2002, Julian was a "New York Idol" finalist on WPLJ's Scott & Todd's Big Show, reaching over 3 million listeners.
He has written music for and sang in such movies as Grandview USA, The Survivalist and True Love. His voice can be heard on both radio and TV ads for American Airlines, Pontiac, Ford, Burger King and Foodtown, to name a few.
Julian is the recipient of many awards, including those from The American Song Festival, Music City Song Festival, Billboard Song and the John Lennon Songwriting Event.
