Julianna Barwick is an American musician and composer whose ethereal soundscapes blur the lines between ambient, classical, and choral music. Known for her distinctive approach to composition, Barwick’s music is often characterized by her use of looping and layering her voice to create lush, ethereal textures. Born in Louisiana and raised in Missouri, her musical influences range from her church choir upbringing to her fascination with the natural world and the inherent emotion within it.

Barwick’s career gained notable momentum with her 2011 album "The Magic Place," which drew its title from her pastoral childhood memories and showcased her talent for crafting immersive, vocal-driven ambience. This was followed by critically acclaimed works such as "Nepenthe" in 2013, which further cemented her reputation for creating hauntingly beautiful auditory experiences. Her 2016 album "Will" introduced a darker, more introspective facet to her music, while 2020’s "Healing Is A Miracle" marked a zenith in her discography, a profound exploration of the restorative power of sound. Throughout her career, collaborations with other artists and unique projects like "FRKWYS Vol. 6" with Ikue Mori and the "Rosabi EP," which was paired with a custom craft beer, have demonstrated Barwick’s ability to transcend traditional boundaries of musical expression. With every release, including her extended works and remixes, Barwick invites listeners into a serene, personal sanctuary built from her enveloping vocal harmonies and transcendent melodies.
