Julianna Zachariou- Dreamer Dreamer
This song by Julianna Zachariou was released as a single in 2025 and can be found on her latest album. It was also one of my selections for Best Songs of 2025.
Last May, Zachariou discussed the challenges of surviving as a working musician, how little artists are paid by streaming services, and more on KPBS‘s podcast The Finest. As a member of the United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW), she is advocating for better pay from these streaming companies. The podcast is worth a listen (or read the transcript) and she also performs a few of her songs live.
She is currently on tour and will be playing at Healing Force of the Universe in Pasadena on Sunday, 1/18/26.
