Up next, MICHAELS will perform on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 23 and stop by MTV’s TRL on October 24.
In addition to her first American Music Award nod, MICHAELS recently received two nominations for MTV’s EMAS (Best New Artist and Best PUSH Artist), which adds to a growing list of achievements including nominations from the MTV VMAS (Best New Artist), Billboard Music Awards (Top Covered Artist), Teen Choice Awards (Choice Song: Female and Choice Breakout Artist), Radio Disney Music Awards (The Freshest) and more. Meanwhile, The Music Business Association (Music Biz) recognizes her with a “Breakthrough Artist Award” during its Awards Luncheon on May 17, 2018.
JULIA is also quickly becoming an undeniable live presence. She’ll be performing at Live In The Vineyard (Nov 3) in addition to hitting up Australia & New Zealand with Shawn Mendes, Jingle Ball stateside, and supporting Niall Horan on his 2018 European tour.
