Being married may have turned into her worst nightmare but
singer/songwriter Juliera has turned the heartache from that failed marriage into a deep, emotional
and powerful song declaring her independence.
Juliera released “Let It Ache,” a powerful story of love lost and the choice between pain lasting
years and pain lasting only a short while.
“I had to choose my pain and so I chose the pain of breakup because at least that is one that would
only last a short while rather than staying in the painful for several more years or even the rest of
my life,” Juliera said. “After writing ‘Let it ache,’ I felt like a burden was lifted off my shoulder. I
felt like I spoke my truth and told a little bit of my story and now I can finally move forward with
the other songs.”
Juliera was born in Nigeria and started writing when she was 16 years old, writing verses and
then putting them away. She attended college in Nigeria and built productive side business as a
ghostwriter for other artists. She moved to the U.S. in 2017 to go to graduate school and was
considering a career in music but she got married in 2019 to a man who didn’t share her passion
for music.
