Julia Carin Cavazos was born on 13 November 1993, in Davenport, Iowa, USA, of part-Puerto Rican descent, and is a singer and songwriter, performing under her stage name Julia Michaels. She earned popularity through her debut solo single “Issues”, which has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She has been active in the industry since 2010, and all of her efforts have helped put her net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Julia Michaels? As of early-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $4 million, mostly earned through a successful career in music; she is signed with Republic Records. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Julia Michaels Net Worth $4 million
Julia grew up in Santa Clarita, California – her father changed his name to John Michaels to try and pursue an acting career, so Julia followed suit. At a young age she started singing, and would also start to develop her songwriting skills. She would then be introduced to popular songwriters such as Joleen Belle and Lindy Robbins, who would be responsible for writing for artists such as Demi Lovato. Julia continued to improve her craft through writing in the Hollywood Pop Circuits, before meeting Justin Tranter, who would become her songwriting partner, with the two often collaborating on projects together. She then performed during the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics alongside musician Kygo, and also started to write for various high profile artists, including Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez and Hailee Steinfield, so her net worth was now well established.
In 2017 Michaels released her first solo single – entitled “Issues’ – which would become highly popular and elevate her net worth, as the song would peak at 11th spot on the “Billboard Hot 100”, and would reach triple platinum certification by the RIAA. After a few months she released a new song – “How Do We Get Back to Love” – which was first showcased through the television series entitled “Girls”. During the middle of the year, she released her EP entitled “Nervous System”, which was accompanied by her second single entitled “Uh Huh”. She would also continue writing songs and was one of the songwriters for the single “Friends”, performed by Justin Bieber and BloodPop; a remix was later released which featured Michaels’ vocals. One of her latest projects is to join Shawn Mendes’ “Illuminate World Tour”, and would perform as the opening act of the Oceania Leg. In 2018, she joined Niall Horan in his Flicker World Tour, and Maroon 5 as a part of their Red Pill Blues Tour. All of these opportunities have helped increased her net worth even further.
Thanks to Julia’s success, she’s earned numerous award nominations, including for an American Music Award, Billboard Music Award, Grammy Award, and many more.
For her personal life, nothing is known about Michaels’ romantic relationships, if any – not even any rumours. According to an interview, she named Paramore, The Fray, Fiona Apple, and Laura Marling as some of her musical inspirations.
