Echo Juliet’s upcoming performance at Symphony Hall marks a significant and deeply personal milestone, as she returns to B:Music not as staff, but as an artist in her own right.

Her journey into music began with percussion, studying drums as a teenager before completing a music degree with ambitions of performing professionally. During that time, she played in Symphony Hall with the CBSO Youth Orchestra, an experience that stayed with her long after she left the stage.

After graduating, those ambitions were put on hold. Facing the challenges of sustaining a performance career, she joined B:Music, working in the bar while immersing herself in the venue’s world class programme. She later moved backstage, working at Town Hall before securing a role as a programming assistant. Over four years, she gained invaluable industry experience before moving to the Barbican in London.

Music found its way back into her life through DJing, which eventually led her to production. Encouraged to try something new, she began creating electronic music using Ableton. Six years on, her work has been played on BBC Radio 3, BBC 6 Music and NTS.

Her sound is rooted in percussion, blending deep house, broken beat and classical influences into a distinctive electronic style. Performing live with a MalletKAT, an electronic vibraphone, she brings a tactile, expressive approach to electronic performance.

Now supporting Max Cooper, an artist she discovered during the pandemic and later interviewed, Echo Juliet returns to Symphony Hall with a renewed sense of purpose. The performance carries particular significance given her history with the venue.

She also highlights the importance of B:Music’s talent development work, especially at a time when opportunities for emerging artists are limited.

With new EPs on the way and a debut London headline show in June, Echo Juliet’s return feels like a moment that has been years in the making.
