She won two NZ Music Awards; 'Best female solo artist' and '42 Below' best selling album in New Zealand'. She has supported Amici and Russell Watson with two sold-out tours in Tokyo. Yulia's albums "Into the West" and "Montage" had three top 40 radio hits in New Zealand, "Into the West", "Angel" and "We're All Alone". Yulia has a coloratura mezzo soprano singing voice. Yulia moved to New Zealand to live, from Russia in 2002. Within two years Yulia learned to speak English, passed all of her senior high school exams at Cashmere High School in Christchurch and signed a recording deal with Sony Music New Zealand. She was taught by Cashmere High School's music department head Gary Thin and teacher Noeleen Penter. Her first ever concert was in Christchurch with Ivan Rebroff where she received a standing ovation for her version of Ave Maria. She was first discovered on regional television as a last minute subject for a ten minute segment on Good Living With Kerry Pierson on Christchurch's local television station CTV. Gray Bartlett, co-director and owner of the Auckland-based promotion company Pacific Entertainment Limited, signed her to a six year worldwide sole agency deal but was ended early by Yulia and she was managed temporarily by Michael Glading, ex head of Sony NZ. In 2007 Yulia met Glyn MacLean, 17 years her senior, director and owner of Oikos Music Group and signed to a management and music publishing deal. On Feb 10th 2008, Yulia married Glyn. 2) A spanish singer. 3) Yulia (Julia Czub) is a Warsaw-born artist, lyricist, poet, writer and journalist, now set to electrify the European alt-pop scene. Her sound aesthetic channels the raw dark ambience of the post-Eastern Bloc music underground supported by fresh and naturalistic vocals. She received a BA (Hons) degree in Politics at King’s College London and MA degree in International Journalism at City, University of London, what is reflected in her observant and socio-politically conscious narrative. Her upcoming EP ‘Warsaw Mule’ is a nostalgic ballad about an identity crisis induced by living in two highly polarised cities – Warsaw and London. As a protagonist Yulia is guiding the listener through the stuffiness of Hackney bars, the rawness of Warsaw after parties and the melancholy of painful, hungover flights. ‘Warsaw Mule’ is Yulia’s audio-visual project, which she is creating in collaboration with the most exciting, rising Warsaw creatives. By inviting her friends and friends of friends, who work in the various creative fields such as photography, music and film production, fashion and graphic design to help her build a multidimensional concept project based on her songs, she wanted to reflect the authenticity of the storyline, which directly relates to the magnetism of the modern Warsaw bourgeois bohemian community.
