Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked. I am super excited to have Julia Cole on. Welcome.

So happy to be here. Country music artist. So Julia and I, we've like, it's funny, we always run into each other.

We're way overdue for this time. We are. We are definitely overdue because we always run into each other,

whether it's like, I don't know at a bar

at a restaurant wherever and two billion mutual friends like it's insane that is Nashville for you

it is crazy but now I'm going to be living like right down the street from you so neighbors I know

hey that's what I'm excited about is like moving from the suburbs to like back down here

to where I can hang out with people. I have a workout partner. Go do something. Like, want to go get

a drink. Want to? I just. And we were talking about this a little bit before, but I'm like you

or if I'm, if I'm too far away from town I will not come to anything thank

like I will stay home and like I would rather watch Netflix instead of my couch exactly you know

how girls be like all right well let's go home and change and I'm like what do you mean if I go home

and change into pajamas right yeah like I'm not coming back I'm putting on my pajamas and I am not coming back I am not that friend that's like oh yeah I'm going to go home and change. Into pajamas, right? Yeah, like, I'm not coming back. I'm putting on my pajamas and I am not coming back.

I am not that friend that's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to go home and change and get all ready and then come back. No. But when I'm out, I'm out. Catch me. Like, I'm not going home until the party's over. But if you, yeah, no, I get it. That is me. If I'm out, I'm out, but it takes a lot to get me there. Yeah. So, okay, so your, your music career has been very interesting. Very. Because it's not the traditional path that everyone's taken. So can you, where did you start? I have the weirdest, like, entrance into the music industry of all time did not do it

on purpose i played sports my entire life i started getting asked to do national anthems for my own

volleyball and basketball games and it started out as a duet with my sister. And she and I played basketball together.

She was older than me.

And so what ended up happening was after she graduated, they were like, do you want to keep

doing them or not?

You know, like, it's not scary when you're doing it with someone else.

Yeah.

But like, do you want to do this song by yourself now?
