Julia Wolf's viral TikTok hit leads to Drake co-sign and sold-out shows

Indie-pop singer Julia Wolf, 31, has experienced a career breakthrough after her song 'In My Room' went viral on TikTok, often paired with fan edits of the Twilight movies. The track amassed millions of streams and led to a DM from Drake, who invited her to record the opening verse of his single 'Dog House'. Wolf, who releases music independently after being rejected by major labels, had to upgrade her world tour to larger venues. She will play two sold-out nights at London's Koko venue later this year. Wolf's third album 'Pressure' (2025) marks a shift to a grittier rock sound, moving away from pop tropes. She has nine million monthly listeners on Spotify and was added to Radio 1's playlist for the first time with 'With Me', a collaboration with John Summit. Wolf began playing piano at age seven, released her first single in 2019, and built a fanbase through open mic nights and collaborations with Jackson Foote of Loote. Her lyrics explore love, obsession, and self-doubt, drawing comparisons to Alanis Morissette and Evanescence.
