Juliann Alexander

Julian Alexander Goins, known mononymously as Juliann Alexander, is not just

your average recording artist but also an authentic multimedia talent and

bonafide trendsetter.

Born into a family of entertainers on January 27th, 1993, Juliann came into

this world seemingly predestined for the spotlight. No sooner than he

learned to string together his first few words did he begin gathering the

family into their Los Angeles, CA home living room to show off his skills in

front of a live audience. He was nourished by the attention and it was

evident that the more he got, the more his hunger for it grew. So, it came

as no surprise to those around him that by the age of seven he had already

decided that he would be a world famous actor, dancer, and rapper – making

the bold “triple threat” declaration during his baptism in front of his

Pastor and the ten thousand plus congregation watching on.

His father was a rapper signed to MCA Records, his grandfather the personal

manager for legendary comedian Don Rickles, his older brother platinum

selling RCA recording artist, Kid Ink – but Juliann would find his own route

into the family business. The hours spent in the mirror perfecting the dance

moves of Usher, Omarion, and Chris Brown would land him a scholarship to the

renowned Debbie Allen’s Dance Academy where he soon found himself dancing

alongside krump king Tommy the Clown during the height of the krumping

craze.

Displaying what could only be described as an innate gift for sensing shifts

in popular trends, Juliann stepped away from krumping at it’s peak and

caught on to a burgeoning dance style few knew about at the time called

jerking. It wasn’t long before jerking had exploded from a local, urban

dance genre into a global cultural phenomenon and Juliann was right there at

the forefront – recognized universally as a founding pioneer and leader of

the movement. Juliann and the 20+ member dance crew he formed, The Rangers,

would serve as the driving force behind the jerk movement with YouTube

videos that earned views in the hundreds of millions and attracted the

attention of pop music icons like Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, and Sean

Kingston who sought out Juliann and his crew and cast them to dance in music

videos for some of the top-selling songs of the past decade.

Having a vision for his career that dance alone could not contain, Juliann

turned his attention to music. Demonstrating an astute aptitude for

marketing, Juliann formed a rap trio bearing the same moniker as the dance

crew he had made world famous. The independent release “Jerkin’ is a Habit,

Vol. 01? claimed Juliann and his fellow Rangers a spot among the top 20 album

downloads in iTunes’ Hip Hop/Rap category during it’s first week in release

and is still considered a classic among Jerk enthusiasts. Then, somewhere

between the tens of thousands of albums sold, the world tours to Australia,

Germany, Russia, and France, and astounding merchandise sales, what started

out as Juliann’s “little dance project” caught the attention of cross-media

superstar Nick Cannon would sign Juliann Alexander and The Rangers to his

music/film/television imprint, Ncredible Entertainment.

The official release of the video “Swimmin’” by Nick Cannon featuring The

Rangers and Roscoe Dash marked Juliann’s introduction into national

mainstream media play receiving air time on BET’s popular video program 106

& Park and earned him several guest appearance spots on the popular music

program. That was followed up with the single, “Pretty Girls Shake It” which

spent several weeks on BET’s 106 & Park as a Top 10 requested video.

Next on the agenda for Juliann Alexander was the official release of the

group’s single “Tip”. Produced by and featuring hip hop production icon

Swizz Beatz, the up tempo dance track with a bass heavy rhythm also served

as the lead single for the Lionsgate Films raunchy coming-of-age comedy,

“School Dance” in which Juliann would also tackle his first major acting

role turning in a memorable performance as one of the lead characters

alongside Kevin Hart, George Lopez, Mike Epps, and Katt Williams.

Still basking in the glow from “School Dance”, Juliann – never being one to

sit still for too long, once again turned his attention towards music but

now as a solo artist. Appearing on the lead single “Dangerous” from the Kid

Ink project “BatGang 4Bs” Juliann not only held his own but shined on the

radio-friendly track that featured both Kid Ink and award winning

rapper/songwriter Ty Dolla Sign.

Armed with hundreds of thousands of fans following his every move across his

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube accounts; and fresh off the buzz

from starring in a major motion picture and being featured on a hit single,

the timing couldn’t be more right for Juliann to embark on his first solo

project. His mix tape “Dying to Live Forever” is set for a Winter 2014

release. The first two teaser singles, “Know Better” and “Goodie Goodie” are

already gaining traction within the online music community; growing his

already vast fan base and leaving music enthusiasts salivating in

anticipation of the full project.
