    Julia is always faithful to the song. EVERYTHING she does fits respective to the original without stepping on it. Those ghost notes are absolute perfection. Can you really call this a cover compared to the original, any original (Dua Lipa, et al.)? Her fills, HER FILLS are truly inspired. That a 20 yr. old can have such an artistic connection to anything is truly amazing. I`m glad she picked up the bass though, and not a paintbrush or a sculptors hammer & chisel, or even worse - a guitar. Did I mention that I like what she does?

    Julia makes every song she plays funkier and thus better.

    It's kinda hard to go back to the originals after hearing one of these videos.

    Your music always so wonderful to listen to. I think you have given me the inspiration to pick up my bass for the first time in 4 years. Thank you Julia!

    I wasn’t always a big fan of the Bass guitar in general but you’re such a badass at this, so now I like it lol

    How has an artist not reached out to you yet? Every single song you add bass to is indefinitely better. I'd want your bass line in my song.

    Hey Jules. Your skills in how to sense the touch to lock the groove is incredible...love the lick at 1:59 "BASS BEAST"
