Julian Marshall
From the internationally successful bands Marshall Hain, The Flying Lizards and Eye to Eye, through to work for the concert hall, film and the theatre, Julian’s songwriting and composing output, today, remains as central to his creative life as ever.
The EP, One Bright Pearl, sees a return to both collaborative songwriting (with songwriter/performer Addi P) and instrumentals that reflect a more of a filmic, groove-based style or writing.
Julian is Associate Professor of Composition and a Teaching Fellow at ICMP (London), and also runs a flourishing private creative coaching practice.
