Listen up!
Listen to Julien Xuereb’s latest single, Les P’tites Choses, released in June 2025, which was the first song he completely self-produced.
Les P’tites Choses is a playful yet defiant rock-polka anthem by French musician Julien Xuereb. Dedicated to his daughter, it celebrates life’s simple joys and the fight for creative freedom. With a shift from driving rock to lively polka, the song highlights a message: artistic expression is not always free — and still faces challenges today. Inspired by his daughter’s creativity, Julien reminds us to defend the freedom to create.

After the pandemic, Julien started focusing on songwritting and released his second solo album, Musical Vibes in 2023.
Julien Xuereb's latest progressive album, blending pop, rock, and influences of jazz and classical, was entirely composed during the pandemic. Recorded in June 2022 at Ivakota in Washington, DC, the eight-track album was released in April 2023. His expressive guitar work and vocals are accompanied by Ben Tuft on bass, drums, and percussion, with the track "Dive" featuring Jacques-Pierre Malan's soulful cello. "Musical Vibes" is available on all streaming platforms and as a physical CD.
The official music video for the album’s title track, Musical Vibes, was released alongside the album:
In 2017, Julien Xuereb performed at TEDx MidAtlantic!
During Julien’s presentation, he performed one of his original compositions, Through the Telescope. While serving as Musician-in-Residence at Springwell Senior Living, Julien participated in a stargazing event where he improvised light classical guitar in an unusual tuning. Later that night, he wrote down some of his ideas and began composing the piece, which figuratively portrays several objects in the cosmos.
Julien’s first album, Introspection was released in 2015
Julien Xuereb's debut solo album, Introspection, recorded at the Peabody Institute and released in May 2015 at An Die Musik, showcases his talent on classical guitar with ten original compositions. These pieces explore profound themes of the human experience, including time, death, love, remembrance, and our place in the universe. Praised by Baltimore Sun critic Tim Smith as "subtly nuanced compositions," this album is a captivating masterpiece. "Introspection" is available on all streaming platforms and as a physical CD.
