ABOUT ME

"I was 16, sitting in my room feeling entirely defeated and overwhelmed. The battle I was fighting with depression was at an extreme and I was sick of constantly letting not only everyone around me down, but also myself. In my mind there was no reason to live if I was contributing nothing but negativity; so I planned on ending my life. At the last second I put down the knife, picked up my guitar and wrote my first full song, "Don't Give Up on Me". I realized that I could say things I had trouble expressing through music, so music became my way of coping and ultimately healing. Your passion is your purpose, and I found my love for music is my passion when it became what I chose to live for."

~ Julia Autumn Ford


"I think those scars on your arms are beautiful." The opening line of the title track, "Don't Give Up On Me," finds Julia Autumn Ford having this epiphany. When you realize she sings this song to herself, it becomes that much more powerful. She proceeds to pour her heart into an EP that many are calling a triumph of hope. The EP is simultaneously heartbreaking and beautiful. Julia has an amazing sense of melody and a knack for writing hooks that stay with you for days. Produced by Tracy Walton at On Deck Sound Studio, Julia's debut effort is a startling honest look into her struggles, and the power music has to heal.
