About
Julia Lange is a 25 years old German crossover guitarist. She started playing at the age of 8 when she saw her older brother playing. In the following years she took classical guitar lessons at the Dr.Hoch’s Conservatory in Frankfurt before she started her studies at Musikhochschule Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden (Germany) that she finished in 2022.
With over 10 million views on YouTube and over 130 thousand followers on Instagram she's not only a rising social media star but also a successful touring musician who has been invited to perform in numerous countries such as Hongkong, Spain, France, China, Poland, Switzerland, India, Finland, Estonia and the Netherlands. She's originally a classically trained musician who combines classical guitar technique with modern, creative Fingerstyle to create truly unique arrangements and originals for both steelstring and classical guitar.
She has won numerous guitar competitions, was awarded with the „Lichtenberger Musikpreis 2020“ and has performed in many TV shows in Germany and Hongkong. Over the years she also gathered experience in accompanying classical singers such as the famous tenor Rolando Villazón or soprano Nadine Sierra.
Even great guitar masters like Jon Gomm appreciate her playing: “It‘s great Julia! Well played, mate. Stunning technique." The mixture of different styles and influences makes her arrangements so unique.
In 2020 she started together with friends the funk band Funky Times, that has been going viral on social media ever since. It was the start of her electric guitar career. They've released their first EP, shared the stage with legends like Candy Dulfer or Philip Lassiter, were the opening act for Dirty Loops and got to tour all around Germany and Europe.
In 2023 Julia was featured at Paul David's famous "10 guitarists solo over the same track" video among guitar heroes like Mateus Asato, Martin Miller and more.
Julia has been teaching regularly since 2018. As a classical trained guitarist she knows not only a lot about "how to play" something but also about "how to practice" something which is the key to fast improvement! No matter if we are talking about classical guitar, Fingerstyle, Funk or whatever... Julia's goal is it to guide you towards your aims with the best practicing strategy. Technique exercises and music theory will help you achieve your goals but most importantly Julia wants to encourage you to find your own way, no matter at which level you are right now! Beginners are as welcomed as professional players who want to improve their own arranging or composing skills.
