Artist and lyricist, Juliera, brings self-empowerment and hope to the
dancefloor with her latest single, “Hero.” With a rhythmic beat and thoughtful
lyrics, the pop song speaks to all listeners.
“It’s a very fun song,” shares Juliera. “It’s a dance song that talks
about being the ‘Hero’ who goes the extra miles for people and does whatever it
takes to make them happy… It’s about giving all your love.”
Facing divorce, Juliera turned a difficult moment in her life into a
chance to make herself happy.
“I wrote the song in 2017 when
I was actively ghostwriting for other people. The inspiration for this song hit
me when someone hired me to write a song to a beat they provided. Several years
later, the song was still stuck in my head and I couldn’t forget the melodies nor
lyrics. So, I decided to record it myself.”
Motivated by the positive feedback Juliera received on the studio
recording, she decided to take the song to the public. “My 3-year-old son heard
the song and absolutely loved it. He danced to it and made me replay it
multiple times. I then decided that I would make my music video for this song based
on a concept that is fun for kids and adults.” With the original beat tied to
the first version of the song, Juliera enlisted a producer to create a new
sound to accompany her original lyrics.
Blending her Nigerian culture with American influences, Juliera
showcases a diversity of sound through her music. She began writing around age
16. “I used to write lyrics on paper and one day my aunt went through my things
and asked me if I wrote it, saying ‘it’s really good.’ I didn’t believe her,
thinking it was just something an aunt would say. Then I got into college and
wanted to see what to do on the side for income. I went on Fiverr and put up a
gig to write songs and lyrics for people.”
As fate would have it, “let me see if I can do this” became a
successful hustle writing music for new and repeat clients. It was only a
matter of time before Juliera earned over 250 five-star reviews writing more
than 1000 songs, many of which were for return customers. “It made me realize I
knew what I was doing and how to do it,” shares the artist.
“Hero” is one of two songs available by the artist. Two videos are
also available for the single, a lyric video and official music video. Her
other single, “Let It Ache,” is about coping through heartbreak even when the
heart aches. “I didn’t want to leave but what I was going through… I would
rather walk away and take the heartbreak,” tells Juliera of the thought process
that inspired the song.
The artist also has eight songs written and four music videos ready
for release. She plans to share new media regularly over the next few months.
At the end of the day, Juliera hopes to inspire listeners to follow
their dreams. “I think it’s important for people to follow their dreams and not
settle for less. My husband didn’t want me to do music. So, I shut my dream
away. I pulled my dreams away for this person who ended up being abusive and
cruel to me… What a joke! Now, I’m happy doing what I love doing and I am doing
better for myself now than I ever did in my marriage. It was almost as if my
marriage was a dark cloud hovering above me and blocking my blessings. I want
people to know their worth and choose better for themselves.”
