Juliana Areias

 ( 1975 Births ) 

Areias moved to Perth in 2009. In 2014, she performed consecutive sold-out shows in Australia, leading up to the release of her debut album. In 2015, Areias released Bossa Nova Baby, her first original album which she recorded with jazz musicians including Doug de Vries, Pete Jeavons, Graham Wood, Ray Walker, Marcio Mendes, Chris Tarr, and Paul Millard. The album contains 12 songs, all of which were influenced by the places she has lived and traveled. The album was funded by a successful crowdfunding campaign on the Australian crowdfund site Pozible and was also sponsored by the Department of Culture and the Arts of Western Australia.

After releasing the album, Areias performed at a sold-out launch concert for the album at the Ellington Jazz Club in Perth. She then performed nationally, giving performances at the Sydney Opera House and Perth International Jazz Festival. The album received air play on radio stations throughout Australia, Brazil, Europe, and the United States.
