This much I know: Julie Feeney on going it alone in the music industry

There was music on both sides of my family and I always knew it was my passion.

But I also love people, especially working with groups of people. I’ve always been a natural at that. Perhaps it is the performer in me.

I like to spend some time in a venue before I perform, to absorb the space, to get out of the real world and into the world of the show. Preparation is key. In my head, I go through exactly what I am going to do with each piece during the show. I love meeting people afterwards but not before because it takes away from my focus.
