The inspiration forthis song hit me when someone hired me to write a song to a beat they provided. Several yearslater, the song was still stuck in my head and I couldn’t forget the melodies nor lyrics. So, Idecided to record it myself.”Motivated by the positive feedback Juliera received on the studio recording, she decided totake the song to the public. “My 3-year-old son heard the song and absolutely loved it. Hedanced to it and made me replay it multiple times. I then decided that I would make my musicvideo for this song based on a concept that is fun for kids and adults.” With the original beattied to the first version of the song, Juliera enlisted a producer to create a new sound toaccompany her original lyrics.Blending her Nigerian culture with American influences, Juliera showcases a diversity of soundthrough her music. She began writing around age 16. “I used to write lyrics on paper and oneday my aunt went through my things and asked me if I wrote it, saying ‘it’s really good.’ I didn’tbelieve her, thinking it was just something an aunt would say. Then I got into college andwanted to see what to do on the side for income. I went on Fiverr and put up a gig to writesongs and lyrics for people.”As fate would have it, “let me see if I can do this” became a successful hustle writing music fornew and repeat clients. It was only a matter of time before Juliera earned over 250 five-starreviews writing more than 1000 songs, many of which were for return customers. “It made merealize 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, alyric video and official music video. Her other single, “Let It Ache,” is about coping throughheartbreak even when the heart aches. “I didn’t want to leave but what I was going through… Iwould rather walk away and take the heartbreak,” tells Juliera of the thought process thatinspired the song.The artist also has eight songs written and four music videos ready for release. She plans toshare 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’simportant for people to follow their dreams and not settle for less. My husband didn’t want meto do music. So, I shut my dream away. I pulled my dreams away for this person who ended upbeing abusive and cruel to me… What a joke! Now, I’m happy doing what I love doing and I amdoing better for myself now than I ever did in my marriage. It was almost as if my marriage wasa dark cloud hovering above me and blocking my blessings. I want people to know their worthand choose better for themselves.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
