Born August 31, 1958 in Van Nuys, CA, Julie began her career as a musician and comedienne while she was still in high school. A member of the Drama Club, she composed original songs for high school productions. After high school she began singing, doing stand-up and character performances in clubs, during which time she continued to write original songs, including that which would become her biggest cult hit, 'The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun.' She self-released her first single, 'I Like 'Em Big And Stupid,' in 1983, and shortly thereafter Rhino Records signed a deal with her and released her first Mini-Album,.Warner Brothers Studios approached Julie not only to record a full-length album, but to pitch a movie idea as well.

Lyrics and video for the song 'Cause I'm Blonde by Julie Brown - Songfacts.
The concept that she pitched would become the 1989 film Earth Girls Are Easy, and Warner Bros. Bought the idea immediately. Julie's only full-length album, was released by Warner Bros./Sire Records in 1987.Almost twenty years later, after seeing how much money her album was selling for in eBay auctions, Julie decided to re-release it herself. She continues to sell it on her website, along with her 2005 single, and has plans to re-release Goddess In Progress. She still performs music and comedy in clubs and at special events.
