Julia Meladin is a phenomenon: "Fear," the newcomer's debut single, has accumulated over 1.3 million streams in a very short period of time, and on TikTok, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter already has more than 287,000 followers. Why? Because Julia Meladin writes songs that not only speak to her own experiences but also resonate deeply with many people, touching their hearts and not letting go easily.
Born in 2003 in a small village in Brandenburg, Julia had early exposure to music. At home, Queen and German New Wave play, and her father plays and writes songs, inspiring his daughter to do the same. Julia started by playing the guitar, then at the age of eight, she wrote her first songs: "These were songs about love in broken English - but I couldn't help it, I just had to write them." With her first band, Julia not only performed covers but also her own songs, which she produced in music class before deciding to release a song snippet on social media for the first time.
One of those songs was "Fear" - a song about one's own fears and how they can sometimes overwhelm us. Created at home, in Julia's room, at the piano overlooking the vastness of Brandenburg, the song became a viral hit. The first snippet Julia released gained over 100,000 views overnight. "I received so many comments from people who felt like I was speaking directly to them that I started making new versions of the song with the stories of my followers. This turned into a proper series.
Since 2021, Julia Meladin has been posting her own tracks on her TikTok channel. Direct and unadorned songs about urgent topics like disappointment and loneliness, exclusion and societal coldness, or pressure to succeed and the search for one's own identity. Just like the completely self-produced piece "Fear," which immediately went viral and caught the attention of all major record companies to the singer, songwriter, and musician. After signing with Sony Music, she solidified her status as one of the most exciting German newcomers with her official debut single "10 out of 10", followed by the pop-punk earworm "Beispiel daran" as another pre-release single from her debut EP that is now available. Currently, Julia Meladin has over 5.9 million total streams of her songs and captivates over 287k followers on TikTok, almost 262k monthly Spotify listeners, more than 73.5k Instagram followers, and nearly 76k YouTube subscribers.
"Maybe for you, it's just a few words, while for others, it destroys their confidence, yes," is the message of the 20-year-old to all those who believe they can get a few likes and clicks at the expense of others through body shaming and making fun of them. "Many in my community feel insecure due to beauty trends," explains Julia Meladin. "Not only on social media but also in real life. I like that I can use my reach to point this out and perhaps help promote more respectful interaction among us."
