Some artists find their voice - others grow into it, moment by moment, choice by choice.

Born in Aotearoa and raised in Naarm’s south-east, Christian Stewart began his journey into music in shared spaces - family homes, school choirs, and a garage where connection turned into creation. What started as curiosity became something deeper: a calling shaped by community, culture, and self-belief.

Through his work, Christian - who my listeners will know as JULAI, creates more than music - he creates space. This interview is about queer joy, Pasifika pride, and for people to feel seen, powerful, and unapologetically themselves.
