Julian Roy

Julian Roy vibrant entertainer, singer, songwriter, Julian Roy, will be the final act on the current cycle of Jazz’Afro Sundays @ The Barn.

Julian’s musical talent was discovered in 2013 by guitarist Peter Jacobs in church whilst performing with a gospel group ‘The Living Waters’. He was then taught to play the acoustic guitar thereafter and is now rarely seen without it.

It was in the latter part of 2016 that Julian decided to let go of his fears and follow the path he was meant to be in and fully immerse himself to his true calling of being a full time musician. This is when he started making appearances and performing at P.E’s popular pubs, bars, restaurants, club and many types of open mic sessions to introduce himself to the vibrant live performance scene in Nelson Mandela Bay. 

His efforts soon paid off as he introduced to well-established musicians from the Bay such as Mano Smith, Dennis Spence; Mzwanele Maqhosha; KoraX & Lefa Mosea just to name a few. It is through these relationships Julian has become a more refined performer and has been collaborating with these artists which has helped him gain confidence and much needed exposure.

Through his journey he has had the privilege of sharing stages with national acts such as Lira, Mafikizolo, Zahara, Micasa and the Drum Boss Heavy-K.

Julian successfully recorded and released his debut single entitled Ree (Girl Of My Dreams) in June 2018 and was well received.

Julian Roy will play at The Barn Theatre on 2 December 2018 from 17h00. Admission is 770.00 (R50.00 Pensioners) – limited seating be sure to be early.
