ABOUT JULIUS AND JULIA: Julius and Julia are an Icelandic duo with a backstory too outlandish to be made up. Identical twins separated at birth, fate brought them together through a series of letters in their teenage years. Although they had never met, their spirits were so intertwined that they began a long-distance collaboration, finishing each other's musical sentences and providing each other's missing halves.
The duo formed February 2 of 2020 but has still never been in the same room. In fact, they don't plan on ever meeting, as respecting their unique personalities is as important to them as embracing their union.
Music requires a certain level of mysterious engagement between personalities. Julius is responsible for musical compositions while Julia provides poetry and vocal melodies. Julia is the public face, and while Julius handles the production. When their talents are merged, they create a mystical sound that is as strange and wonderful as their backstory.
