Honesty Will Get You Everywhere.
My buddy sent me an email telling me to go check this
girl out. Her name is Julia Nunes. http://www.julianunes.com/
What he said about her is SO TRUE!
"I was searching around youtube the other day and noticed a picture of somebody's fingers on the fretboard of a ukelele so I clicked just to see and what I found was what I believe true talent really is. It's a college girl named Julia Nunes and she isnt trying to get a record deal, isnt trying to do anything else but just play music and she does this just sitting in front of her computer playing. If you are looking for stunning chops or pitch perfect notes then this isnt what you want. BUT if you want to see what I believe the true spirit of music is, then I think this is it. Basicaly she just records with either a guitar or a uke straight into her computer's mic and just does the take just like it is. She then somehow digitally overdubs other parts along with herself. Needless to say, it was enchanting! If you look at all her videos you'll see she has this sort of happy and sunny disposition that I find refreshing. I'm drawn to her talent but not in a retarded "Oh, she is hot!" kind of way. As I said, it's because of her uniqueness and the fact that she doesn't need anything more than an instrument and a couple of voices to get it all across. No fancy studio takes, no Pro Tools post mix fix-ups, and really nothing more than what comes out of her mouth and hands. This proves to me once again that if you're talented, it will speak for itself and all the technology in the world won't change that."
Here are some links to her performances:
God Only Knows (Beach Boys) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr09fYxQXMU (This one sealed the deal for me!)
This one was a Youtube feature clip: Into The Sunshine (Original) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk5L0-SIceg
Regrets (Original) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzps9iXwpG4
Survivor (Desiny's Child) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-lt3vVA-4I
I can go on and on. Check out her Youtube page here:
