Julia Marty (born Ioulia Vladimirovna Danshina) grew up in the former Soviet Union and began her musical training at the age of six. The daughter of an accomplished pianist and choirmaster, she studied classical piano and graduated from the Rostov College of Music in Russia. Julia's career quickly shifted to vocal music when she was asked to audition for the popular Russian folk group, Balalaika. Her talents propelled her through the very competitive levels of Russian folk music and culminated with the internationally acclaimed Don Cossacks. Julia has performed in Europe, Asia and the United States, where she toured under the sponsorship of Columbia Artists in over fifty major cities and now resides.
