When talent meets perspiration the result is inspiration
Based in Los Angeles, Roger Julià (Barcelona, 1981) makes his Hollywood debut with the score to John Irvin’s feature film of Ernest Hemingway’s “The Garden Of Eden”, starring Mena Suvari, Caterina Murino, Jack Huston, and Carmen Maura.
After orchestrating and conducting an episode of ABC hit “Lost” and more than thirty trailers, Roger was dubbed “The Catalan baton of Hollywood” (El Periodico, May 2007), and last January he collaborated with Phil Marshall composing for the feature film “The Man Who Came Back” by Glen Pitre, featuring Eric Broaden. He has recorded at Capitol Records, 20 Century FOX, and Warner Brothers, amongst other top scoring studios, mastering the secrets behind the bigness and the subtleness of the greatest music produced in Hollywood.
In the pop music world, he orchestrated the music Ozzy Osbourne sang at the Royal Variety Performance, with Guns'N Roses' Slash on guitar. The gala was presided by Queen Elisabeth II.
Roger studied in the graduate program of Film Scoring of the University of Southern California on the “La Caixa” scholarship, delivered by Juan Carlos I, King of Spain. USC granted Roger the Phil Marshall Merit Award in a special ceremony of honors. Previous to his studies in the States, Roger studied pop/rock composition and arranging with Richard Niles for a period of two years in London. In addition, Roger was a candidate of the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop with Richard Bellis on 2007.
Roger is very interested in the Catalan and Spanish folk music and he was honored to write the official anthem of his native town, Sant Fruitós de Bages (Spain).
