Career

Marcell was born Julia Górniewicz in Olsztyn, Poland in 1982. Her father, Józef Górniewicz, is a Polish pedagogue and was the dean of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn from 2008 to 2012. She wrote songs since she was 14 years old, and circa 2007 she learned how to play the piano.[http://www.ziemianiczyja.pl/2010/06/julia-marcell-wywiad/ Interview with Julia Marcell, July 3, 2010.] {{in lang|pl}} In 2007, she released her first album, the currently out-of-print extended play Storm.{{Cite web|title=Julia Marcell|url=https://www.ukfestivalguides.com/artists/julia-marcell/|access-date=2020-11-10|website=www.ukfestivalguides.com}}

In October 2007, with the help of fans from around the world, she obtained a sum of US$50,000 (through the website Sellaband) to record her first studio album. Titled It Might Like You, it was released in Germany in 2009 and produced by Moses Schneider, who previously worked with bands such as Turbostaat, Beatsteaks, Kreator and Tocotronic.

In 2008, Marcell sang a duet with Cuban American dark cabaret singer Voltaire, named "This Sea". The song appears on his album To the Bottom of the Sea. On the same album, Voltaire makes a cover of her song "Accordion Player". She collaborated with Voltaire once more in 2014, on his album Raised by Bats, on the track "The Devil and Mr. Jones".{{Cite web |url=http://www.voltaire.net/raised_by_bats_cd/ |title=Voltaire – Raised by Bats |access-date=21 June 2014 |archive-date=23 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140623045142/http://www.voltaire.net/raised_by_bats_cd |url-status=dead }}

On 3 October 2011 she released a second studio album, entitled June, which brought a big change in style and saw Marcell play with rhythm and expand her sound with the addition of electronic instruments.[http://www.haldern-pop.de/de/label/artist/julia-marcell Julia Marcell – Haldern Pop.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111203235238/http://www.haldern-pop.de/de/label/artist/julia-marcell |date=3 December 2011 }} {{in lang|de}} June{{'}}s first single, "Matrioszka", was released on 7 August 2011 as a teaser.
