Julie Bergan (born April 12, 1994) is a talented singer and songwriter from Skien, Norway. She started her music journey by sharing cover songs on YouTube when she was just 16. This led to her signing a record deal with Warner Music Norway in 2013.

Julie became well-known in Denmark and Germany in 2015 with her song "All Hours." Then, in 2016, she had a big breakthrough in her home country, Norway, when her song "Arigato" reached number one on the music charts. Her first major album, Turn On the Light, came out in 2018. She hit number one again in 2018 with the song "Ignite", which she made with K-391, Alan Walker, and Seungri.

Julie Bergan's Music Journey

Early Career and First Songs (2012–2016)

In 2012, Julie sang on the song "Supernova" with Cir.Cuz. This song became very popular, reaching number five on the Norwegian Singles Chart.

The next year, in 2013, she took part in Melodi Grand Prix 2013. This is a big music contest in Norway that chooses the country's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Julie sang "Give a Little Something Back," a song she helped write. Even though she didn't win, it was a great experience.

In September 2013, she officially signed with Warner Music Norway. Her first single, "Younger," was released in early 2014.

Becoming Famous and First Album (2016–2018)

Julie released several songs after "Younger." But it was her song "Arigato" that made her famous outside of Norway. "Arigato" reached number five on the Swedish music charts. It was also nominated for "Song of the Year" at the Spellemannprisen, which are like the Norwegian Grammys, in 2016.

She released more singles from her first album, like "Blackout," "If You Love Me," and "Incapable" in 2017. In 2018, she released "Guilt Trip" and then her first album, Turn On The Lights. This album was a huge success and reached number one on the Norwegian charts!

After her album came out, Julie went on a concert tour in Norway called "It's Lit Tour pt. I." In May 2018, she was featured on the song "Ignite" with Alan Walker, K-391, and Seungri. This song hit number one in Norway and was very popular in Sweden too. Julie even performed with Alan Walker at big music festivals like Coachella and EDC Japan. Later that summer, she went on another tour, "It's Lit Tour pt. II," performing in Norway, the UK, France, and Sweden. She ended 2018 by releasing the song "U Got Me."

New Music and Tours (2019–2022)

Julie continued to release new music in 2019. She put out songs like "STFU," "I'll Be Fine Somehow" with Benjamin Ingrosso, and "Don't Give Up On Me Now" with R3hab. She also went on her "Hard Feelings" tour across Europe.

In 2020, she released "Kiss Somebody" with SeeB. During the time when many people were staying home, Julie released "Commando." The music video for this song was made from dance videos sent in by her fans!

She worked with SeeB again on "Don't You Wanna Play?" and "Always Will." In 2020, Julie released her second album, Hard Feelings. This album was available online and included songs she had released earlier as two smaller collections called EPs.

In 2021, Julie was part of a song called "Family" by David Guetta. This song was meant to show how the music industry stuck together during the difficult time. Julie sang the part for Scandinavia.

In early 2022, Julie and her friends opened a gym in Oslo called Crewtrening. She trains there and even teaches classes! Later that year, she made her relationship with Yunus Daar public.

A song called "Ritual" was planned with Alan Walker, which Julie helped write. However, there was a disagreement about sharing the rights to the song. So, the song was released with different lyrics and a different singer. You can still see Julie in the music video for it.

Starting Her Own Label and New Album (2023–2024)

On March 17, 2023, Julie released her first new song in almost two years, called "Diamonds." This song was special because she released it on her very own music label, called Karate Records! She started her own label after leaving Warner Music.

Julie also announced her "Diamonds Tour" for late 2023 and early 2024. On May 26, 2023, she released another song from her upcoming album, "Waste a Tear."

On June 16, 2023, Julie performed "Waste a Tear" at the big VG-Lista Topp 40 live show in Oslo. The dance moves for her performance were created by Mona Berntsen, who has worked with famous artists like Justin Bieber! Julie released more singles from her new album, including "Nobody Loves No One" and "Old Habits" in late 2023. She performed "Old Habits" live on a Norwegian TV show. She then went on her "Diamonds Tour" across Norway.

In 2024, Julie released "Kiss Me Better" on February 23. She also worked with Danish singer Medina on a new version of Medina's song "Danser for mig selv" on March 22. On April 24, 2024, Julie released her sixth single, "Eternity Tonight."
