A quick rundown of the sections
Clicking on the small square
graphic for each year group will take you to an index for those years...
 Julian's
childhood... from his birth in 1963 - the same year Beatlemania was born
to his work on his own solo album Valotte in 1983....
 Julian's
Debut Album Valotte... written at the Manor de Valotte in 1983 and
released the end of 1984. This critically acclaimed album launched
Julian's career as well as his first concerts ever....
 1986
Secret Value of Daydreaming... Julian's sophomore album which was
quickly written following a grueling tour and little rest... The rush on
this album cost Julian dearly both in terms of his personal well being as
well as his musical career...
 1988
Mr. Jordan... an experimental-ish comeback album after taking a much
needed break in Switzerland to recuperate from the rush to stardom as well
as write... unfortunately the album was not promoted well...
 1991
Help Yourself... Comeback take two... Help Yourself scores Julian a #1
hit with "Saltwater" everywhere with the exception of the US... Again very
little promotion was given to Julian by Atlantic Records...
 1993
- 1997... Disappointed with the lack of support by those who were
supposed to be helping his career, Julian basically waits out his
recording contract with Atlantic Records. He does a few songs for movies
as well as a few movie cameos but does not produce any solo albums...
 1998/1999
Photograph Smile... A long awaited solo album which is critically
acclaimed as being Julian's best work ever is released on Julian's own
label "Music From Another Room." A promotional tour follows however,
yet again promotion is lacking... and though the critics loved the album,
it received little airtime...
 2000s...
And here we are... though Julian has mentioned releasing another album
little is known of his future plans and exactly how long it will be for
that album to materialize... Julian's mum Cynthia painted a set of 4
portraits of John for Julian's birthday and later sells lithographs of
them to the public...
