Julia Chen leads her own quartet, which performs her original compositions regularly in New York City venues such as Rockwood, the Bitter End, Nublu, and Kitano. Her music has been described as “if Jazz ate a full plate of Baroque Classical music sprinkled with Brazilian Choros and a bit of R&B and then washed it down with some Pop.” Her first EP, “Silver Spoons,” was released in October of 2018 and is named after one of the many beautiful houseplants that fills Julia’s apartment. Eighty-pound Pug benefitted from one wonderful extended gig that featured her playing.
