Vocal coach Juliana Riccardi is a recording artist, singer and songwriter whose recent music was featured in Billboard Country Music News, on Spotify’s Healin’ Blues playlist, CMT.com, Ditty TV of Memphis and local FM stations.
Back in New York City, Juliana entered the music industry as a live performer playing shows and gigs of all types. She founded an event performance group that played for almost a decade, landing features in New York Magazine.
After many years performing, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jazz Vocal Performance at The City College of New York. She studied voice with a variety of singing professionals including Carolyn Leonhart (Steely Dan), and Janet Steele (Yale); and independently with Marcy Jellison (Opera Delaware). Juliana also graduated from the Institute of Audio Engineering in Manhattan for audio engineering.
She is passionate about guiding others through their own vocal exploration, helping them express themselves and find joy through music. She believes singing is healing and using our voice is a gift we all deserve to experience with ease. She is a Certified Professional Coach, training under the standard of the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches. By enriching her supportive skills as a vocal coach and creative guide, Juliana elevates her commitment to healthy, collaborative and inspiring coaching.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Juliana actively records and performs in the city with her band at original music venues like ‘The Hotel Cafe’ and ‘The Venice West’. She is currently working on a 2026 EP release, after a magical recording experience with her band in Yucca Valley, at Gatos Recording Studios.
Prior to this, Juliana also debuted at Nashville’s legendary writer’s venue, "The Listening Room”. This trip included her recording two singles at Doghouse Studio (Sheryl Crow, Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton) which have been released.
“Right On Time,” an inspiring country-folk tune about owning your choices and having the confidence to forge your own path, earned praise on Billboard Country online, and was followed up with her single “Off The Map”, a song about putting down your phone and soaking up the outdoors.
Juliana is an animal lover and advocate having worked in rescue for 6+ years. Her favorite spots for inspiration are by the ocean, on a long sunny (or rainy) drive with the windows rolled down and any time her phone is turned off.
