"The World's Youngest Drummer!"®
Playing the drums while sitting atop his father's lap since the age of three months, this rhythmic child began keeping a steady beat in his mother's womb! Just 4-years old, he has graduated from the high chair and no longer stands to play the bass and high hat pedals. He plays a 22-piece custom drum set with 17 cymbals and a double kick. He plays rock, funk, fusion and jazz beats with his Vic Firth sticks on Innovation Drums, ddrums and Sabian Cymbals – all three companies having given him full artist endorsements! He also prefers Remo drum skins. His favorite bands to rock to include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Chicago, TOTO, Rush, Earth, Wind and Fire, Journey, Parliament, Stephanie K and The Detroit Katz, Barry White and Santana.
Many consider Julian to be the “Tiger Woods of the Music Industry”. He was offered a contract to be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Drumline at age 15 months (the youngest member by 16 years!). Then, at 20 months, Julian recorded a CD, “Go Baby!”, with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong. Trapper Jack, from Cleveland’s radio station, WDOK 102.1, broke the story and Julian has been shocking audiences ever since. He has appeared on 38 TV shows, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, “Good Morning America”, “Martha Stewart”, “Inside Edition”, “MSNBC”, “WGN”, “FOX News Dayside”, “Good Company” and Japan’s #1 television show, “Amazing Stories”, twice. He has also starred in a television show pilot, “Finding Julian’s Band”®, created by Rocky Seprino and had a Korean documentary produced by Seoul Broadcasting Systems aired about him.
He has performed live on numerous radio stations around the world and for many concert venues including the legendary Whisky A Go-Go (the youngest ever to perform at this venue), House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe. He has performed for the Detroit Pistons, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs and at the Cleveland Grand Prix. He has inspired a series of children’s books, led to the formation of Harmonie Network (a national entertainment and music company), influenced the launch of his own clothing line, invented “Abracadabra”® Stain Cover-up, was featured in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not,” was honored at the Hard Rock Cleveland with the “The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award”, received a Special Declaration of Tribute from the State of Michigan and has received worldwide media coverage with more than 7000 newspaper and magazine articles written about him. He even recently unveiled his own signature pasta, “Julian’s Mac and Cheese”.
The Julian Pavone Band made their debut this past summer at Michigan’s Stars & Stripes Festival – to the largest crowd their venue has ever seen. Over the last several months, they have also performed at the Brighton Summerfest, for Chicago’s WGN Morning Show, at the Hard Rock Chicago and at the Hard Rock Cleveland for a 2-hour Fox News special with host Kenny Crumpton. The band just returned from California where they played the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go in West Hollywood where Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Oasis, Otis Redding, and many others made their mark and rose to prominence. They hosted a private screening of “Finding Julian’s Band”® TV Show at a metro Detroit premier venue, The Crofoot, in Pontiac, Michigan.
