Alt-Pop Artist Juliana Eye Shares Driving Coming Of Age Anthem: Wasted Youth

Juliana Eye is an alt-pop artist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based out of Toronto.

Her love of pop melodies and ’90s and early-00s guitars, combined with her alluring vocals has helped Eye create a unique blend of melancholic nostalgia.

“Wasted Youth” is the first single from her EP out in late 2022, an upbeat coming-of-age tale about the struggles of adolescence in reflection on the painful experiences that shape us.

Born and raised in the Toronto suburb of North York, Juliana took to music obsessively at the early age of thirteen as an act of teenage rebellion and an outlet for finding herself. She spent the majority of her adolescence playing guitar and writing songs in her bedroom, jamming in basements with her friends’ obscure bands, and venturing to downtown clubs to watch local artists perform.

While attending University for art and graphic design, Eye toured and recorded with an indie-rock band, The Ruby Spirit, as a backup vocalist and self-taught keyboard player. Juliana has since pursued a career as a live support musician and has performed with a number of artists including CARYS (Warner Music/Atlantic Records), Juno-nominated AMAAL (Universal Canada), and LØLØ (APG) to name a few.
