Julianna Raye

Julianna Raye is an American songwriter, singer and occasional actress. She became briefly well known in 1993 when her work as a backing singer and songwriter persuaded producer Jeff Lynne and Warner Bros. Records Lenny Waronker to give her a major label debut album release on Reprise Records for the album Something Peculiar.[1]

Despite Warner's backing, and Jeff Lynne as producer the 1993 album failed to make a commercial impact and it was not until 2002 that Raye attempted a comeback with a rock pop album Restless Night, produced by Ethan Johns, known for his work with Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, and Linda Ronstadt, on John's independent label 3 Crows Music.[2]
