Response from Jules "Julio" Martinez, Guitarist:
Great pleasure working with your team! And wonderful crew of musicians as well for that service!
Jules was a great choice for our backyard event. He was professional, responsive to our communications and so easy to work with. Jules plays a wide range of genres, and well. I was really impressed by his resume, which he sent linked to his response to our initial contact. He also sends a few clips of his work but be sure to also look for him on TicTok and other sites to understand the depth of his versatility and talent. I feel that we really lucked out with this choice. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much! Camila and Alberto were wonderful hosts. It was a pleasure performing for you !
I hired Jules to be the guitarist for my music group for a couple of gigs. Most recently for 04/20/22. Out of all of the musicians, Jules was the most prepared and professional. Jules knew his music front to back, and he always arrived early for rehearsals and gigs. Because of how well he knew his music, Jules naturally ended up leading most of the practices. When the performances came, Jules’ musical ability and proficiency with the guitar was the glue that held the show together. He easily switched from rock to flamenco, folk, and even jazz. He also laid down some fat bass lines when we needed him to play bass. Jules is an extremely versatile musician. THIS IS THE GUY TO HIRE.
Response from Jules "Julio" Martinez, Guitarist:
Thank you Arturo! It was a real pleasure performing for you Kennedy and Aolani.
Jules was a big hit at my medieval feast, he was willing to dress the part of a troubadour and played beautifully a variety and surprised me with a Game of Thrones piece.
Response from Jules "Julio" Martinez, Guitarist:
Thank you Daniel! It was a real pleasure performing for this beautiful feast. Bravo !
Price Range: $100-$1000
I'm a open-minded musician, willing to play any style as long as it is professional. My influences can go from Larry Carlton to James Taylor or Mac Demarco.
Originally from France, I started practicing the electric guitar when I was 16 years old. After getting my baccalaureate diploma in Literature, I decided to immerge myself fully into music. 3 years at French Music School "Tous en Scene" ((link hidden)), and getting graduated, I started right away instructing by myself but also gigging and recording with different bands. My solo work and collaborations have been featured in reviews like Rock&Folk, Le Parisien, MetalObs but also many others across the border like Fireworks magazine or (link hidden).
Some bands I've been working with :
- Dysmorphic (Unique Leader Records, USA)
- The Newtons ("Elevation" album, mastering by Brad Blackwood in Memphis, Tennessee).
I have gear, can travel.
(Gear: orange tube combo rocker 32, fender stratocaster, gibson midtown std, pedalboard, fender acoustic, squier jazz bass...)
