JULEE CRUISE (Songwriter/Performer)

Singer, songwriter, actress, musician Julee Cruise, who from her unforgettable New York alternative debut in David Lynch’s infamous Industrial Symphony #1 at BAM/Next Wave Festival (where she performed in a vintage prom dress while suspended eighty feet above the opera house stage), has made her mark in television (Twin Peaks), solo recordings and videos; Floating Into The Night, (Warner Bros.), The Voice of Love (Warner Bros.), The Art of Being a Girl (Water Music), soundtracks (Blue Velvet, Scream, Twin Peaks, Until the End of the World), home video (Industrial Symphony), movies (Fire, Walk With Me), numerous off-Broadway roles (Beehive (she played Janis Joplin), House of Blue Leaves, Return to the Forbidden Planet and Keith Haring’s musical Radiant Baby (she played Andy Warhol and Susan Sontag among others!), and many, many compilations and in frequent stints and world tours as lead singer Cindy Wilson’s replacement with the B-52s, and as part of jazz great Bobby McFerrin’s legendary Voicestra.

The 2002 CD The Art of Being a Girl (now available worldwide digitally via Purley Sounds), took chill/lounge to a whole new level. 

“I prefer to call it Davenport music rather than couch music,” Cruise, arguably the Fairy Godmother of Chill comments. 

Music critic David Foster Wallace has named Cruise “one of the ten most influential female singers of the last 20 years.” (New York Magazine)

In a recent poll by the influential music site Pitchfork named Falling (from Floating Into The Night) as the “146^th greatest song of the 1990’s”.

Both David Bowie and Moby have said that her songs would be their #1 Desert Island pick.

Recently she has worked extensively with the electronic acts Delerium , Handsome Boy Modeling School, Hybrid, Kenneth Bager, Khan, Moodswings, Pluramon and Ror-Shak. Her work appears on innumerable chill/dance/techno compilations in Europe and North America.

Her  music and vocals are regularily heard on many TV shows, and she sang the theme song to the hit TV show Psych on a “Twin Peaks” take-off episode which became an instant hit on You Tube.  

Her recent appearances include concerts in London and Moscow and the Burn Baby Burn Tour in March 2011 of 10 European countries.

Julee is from Iowa and started her career as a classical French horn player until she became a fugitive from the symphony and eventually landed in New York (via Minneapolis) where she lives with her husband, editor and writer Edward Grinnan, whom she shares with  another blond, Millie Jo, their 3-year-old, 100-pound Golden Retriever. They often retreat to the Berkshire Hills of western Mass where Millie enjoys harassing Turkey Buzzards and eating sticks.

About Visions and Voices: The USC Arts & Humanities Initiative

Visions and Voices is a university-wide arts and humanities initiative that is unparalleled in higher education. The initiative was established by USC President C. L. Max Nikias during his tenure as provost in order to fulfill the goals set forth in USC's strategic plan; to communicate USC's core values to students; and to affirm the human spirit. Emphasizing the university's commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, the initiative features a spectacular array of events conceived and organized by faculty and schools throughout the university. The series includes theatrical productions, music and dance performances, conferences, lectures, film screenings and many other special events both on and off campus. Each program invites students to dialogue and interact with artists, writers, professors and special guests. These interactions provide a dynamic experience of the arts and humanities and encourage active exploration of USC's core values, including freedom of inquiry and expression, team spirit, appreciation of diversity, commitment to serving one's community, entrepreneurial spirit, informed risk-taking, ethical conduct and the search for truth.
