Julian Bohn (1992), a German trained jazz pianist turned pop music producer based in the Netherlands, crafts genre-blending music resonating with authenticity and warmth. From his album “Feels Like Home,” which features 11 musicians from across the globe, to his work with artists like electro-pop singer FRÉ and songwriter Shishani, he defies musical boundaries while exploring themes close to his heart, for example the climate crisis, feminism and equality. Beyond his musical endeavours, Julian co-founded Music Declares Emergency NL, an organization advocating for climate action in the music industry, and is actively involved in BOYS WON’T BE BOYS, a Dutch theater production centered on real stories about masculinities and gender equality. Graduating from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2023, Julian’s thesis, echoing the theater production’s title, investigates how evolving masculine identities can foster safer working environments in the music industry. This research led to multiple guest lectures on this topic, including at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

Julian has performed at concert halls and clubs across Europe, including at international radio stations such as BBC Radio, NPO Radio 2, NPO Radio 1 and NPO Radio 5. He was invited as a panelist and guest lecturer at conferences and schools including ESNS, Herman Brood Academie, Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and the University of Ulster.
