She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jazz Vocal Performance from the City College of New York in Harlem, and has over a decade of lead performance experience– all of which lay the groundwork for her compelling songwriting and stage presence. After some deep losses and soul searching, Riccardi shared her voice in a new way by building a remarkable live band, releasing her noteworthy studio recordings, and continuing her love for spontaneity on some of LA's best original music stages.

Her sophomore EP, Full Cup, was released in October 2021: a hybrid record of Americana, soul, and folk influence, it was mixed by GRAMMY award winners Darrell Thorp (Lake Street Dive, Beck) and Will Hensley. The EP earned praise from champions like CMT, Americana Highways, Rock & Blues Music, Fargo's KRFF "Other Side Of Country" FM radio show, Roots Down Under FM Radio, and was featured on Spotify’s “Healin Blues” playlist. 

In 2022, Juliana was invited to perform at Nashville's legendary "Listening Room," where she played stripped-down, acoustic renditions of her songs to a full audience. In a perfect balance of risk and preparation, this resulted in an eye-opening, three-day trip over which Riccardi recorded The Nashville Session Singles: “Off the Map” and “Right on Time,” a two-track project produced by Nick Bullock at The Doghouse Studio (Dolly Parton, Allison Kraus, Sheryl Crow). Her single garnered feature in Billboard Country News after it’s release this March.

Committed to authentic, energetic performances and evocative songwriting, Juliana Riccardi’s openness and commitment to growth have led her to be a stylistic chameleon. Garnering over hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify , Juliana Riccardi unveiled her latest The Nashville Session Singles, as a stripped-down glimpse into her songwriting and artistry.
