Julian Hernandez

It is during his performances in both local and regional clubs/restaurants that Julian can be heard doing high quality musical impressions of Pavarotti, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Mathis, Louis Armstrong, Luther Vandross and Barry White. While these are stirring renditions of classic hits and they draw raves from the audience, it is when he does the Coles – both father and daughter – that he brings down the house. People simply cannot believe that this beautiful music is coming from one person.

But, Julian’s talent does not stop there. Julian wrote and sang on the hit song “Take Me In Your Arms” with Lil Suzy. It sold over 600,000 copies as a single and reached number 48 on the Billboard Chart. He has also performed with such outstanding artists as Ben E. King, The Stylistics, The Delphonics, Shannon (Let The Music Play – reached double platinum), Ray, Goodman & Brown, and on the hit Christina Aguilera album “Just Be Free”.
Julian’s recent CD, “Voices From My Heart”, on GrooveScape Records, has been very well received. It includes such classic hits as Unforgettable, Beautiful In My Eyes, Lady In Red, Summerwind, Time To Say Goodbye and two duets with Ben E. King – Stand By Me and Only You. The album now appears in many jukeboxes around New York City.
Julian’s hit single – “Can’t Go This Way Again” – distributed on TC Records, reached number 46 on the Billboard Chart of “The Top 100”. In 2002, Julian was a “New York Idol” finalist on WPLJ’s Scott & Todd’s Big Show, reaching over 3 million listeners.

He has written music for and sang in such movies as Grandview USA, The Survivalist and True Love. His voice can be heard on both radio and TV ads for American Airlines, Pontiac, Ford, Burger King and Foodtown, to name a few.
Julian has a feature role (Joe Fortunato:singing cook) in the upcoming movie “Among The Jones”. Check out the trailer www.amongthejoneses.com
