Julien Michaud – Session Drummer | London
aka Julian Stella
I’m Julian Stella, a London-based session drummer and multi-instrumentalist, performing and recording With over a decade of experience across styles like rock, funk, indie, and electronic, I bring groove, versatility, and musicality to every project.
A graduate of the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP), I’ve played at iconic venues including Camden Assembly, The Water Rats, and La Dame de Canton (Paris), and performed across the UK and France. My work includes both live and studio drumming, from acoustic drum kit sessions to precision MIDI programming and hybrid set-ups.
Whether you need dynamic live performance or tight, mix-ready drum tracks for your recordings, I approach every session with the ears of a producer and the feel of a dedicated drummer.
Available for remote sessions, live shows, studio work, and creative work. Let’s make something that grooves.
