History Music / Giulietta

* MelismaticVocals: Uses melisma in her songs a lot. She also cites Music/WhitneyHouston, Music/MariahCarey and CelineDion as early influences.

In November 2009, a little way from the album's release, Giulietta won ‘International Pop Artist of the Year Award’, ‘Producers Choice Award’ and a ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame Award’ at the Los Angeles Music Awards which took place in Hollywood. She later became the first Australian unsigned artist to reach the top 20 of the {{Billboard}} dance charts with the album's sole [[AlbumSingle single]], "Vertigo", which peaked at #16.

* DreamTeam: Production-wise, it seems Giulietta ''is'' this trope. In addition to Kershenbaum producing her debut, ''Ascension'' also featured mixing by Rob Orton (Music/LadyGaga, Music/PetShopBoys, Music/{{Usher}}, Music/PixieLott) and Chris Cox (Music/BritneySpears, Music/{{Rihanna}}, Music/MichaelJackson, Music/ChristinaAguilera). "Vertigo" was written by Ellis Miah (Music/MileyCyrus, Music/FallOutBoy, JoJo, Music/BackstreetBoys) and was remixed by Dave Audé (Music/SelenaGomez, Music/BlackEyedPeas, Music/{{Beyonce}}, {{Music/Madonna}}). Both "Vertigo" and "Pixelated" were remixed by Audé's protege Jeremy Word (Music/JenniferLopez, Nicole Scherzinger, Music/AshleeSimpson, [=FloRida=]). In addition, her single "No Where" was produced by Music/TPain.

She first came to prominence in 2008 after contributing vocals to the Marcus Knight club track "Dirty House Music". The song peaked at number four on the Beatport charts and entered the Australian ARIA Dance Charts twice. While she continued to sing on other club tracks such as "Venus", "Save Me", "Take Your Mind There" and "Give It Up", it was "Dirty House Music" and its underground success that caught the attention of US producer David Kershenbaum (a producer for artists such as Music/DuranDuran, Music/ToriAmos, Tracy Chapman and Cat Stevens as well as being responsible for signing JanetJackson and Music/BryanAdams) -- leading him to produce nine tracks for her debut album ''Ascension'', released in 2010.

Apart from releasing her debut album in 2010, Giulietta supported Lloyd Banks (fom FiftyCent's posse G-Unit) while he was doing shows in Melbourne and also opened for the likes of Akon, Ja Rule, Ciara, [=FloRida=], Music/StanWalker and Travie [=McCoy=] in the Melbourne leg of the Australian [[ContemporaryRAndB R&B]] and HipHop festival [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsHMrhBJ3b4 Summerbeatz]]. She also contributed scratch vocals on demo tapes for a possible Ciara album.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: A few days before the release of ''911: Code Pink'', Giulietta stated on her {{Facebook}} and {{Twitter}} profiles that there would be a [[HiddenTrack hidden bonus track]] with a surprise guest. In her "Thank You" video (meant to act as a trailer) posted to Website/YouTube the night before the album's release, she said that [[spoiler:the album's bonus track was a remix of "Pixelated" by Ron Carroll]].

* {{Fangirl}}: Is ''very'' sweet on ChrisBrown. Also, judging by [[http://giuliettamusic.blogspot.com.au/2009/04/twitter-obsession-xd.html this reaction]] to a certain tweet, it seems she's also one of MariahCarey.

* UncannyValleyMakeup: Probably in an effort to become Australia's answer to LadyGaga. This is especially noticeable in the video for "Vertigo".

* BreakthroughHit: "Dirty House Music", arguably.

* DyeHard: A natural brunette, her hair has been [[FieryRedhead electric red]] for most of her career, but of late it's also been [[RoseHairedGirl pink]].

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A mild example, but still an example nonetheless. She's only barely known in Australia (with Melbourne being the city most likely to have heard of her) but in the US she scored a number-one Breakthrough Artist and top-twenty Dance hit with both "Vertigo" and the album ''Ascension''. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that she divides her time between Australia and the USA.
** Played ''extremely'' straight with her popularity in China. She was mobbed by large crowds when doing her live tour there.
** "Voodoo" was also a top 20 hit in Latin America.

* NamesTheSame: An interesting case. She shares her name with a particular model of Alfa Romeo-make car, and if you google 'Giulietta' your answers will be filled with cars. You'll need to google 'Giulietta Russo' or 'Giulietta music' to find her.
* NiceGirl: Despite her tough image, she's always talking to fans on her social media accounts, being one of few 21st-century artists who respond to praise and support much more often than [[{{Hatedom}} 'hate']]. She even gave this page a ShoutOut. Hi, Giulietta!

* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: ''911: Code Pink'' was originally slated to be released on November 19, 2011, but was then pushed back multiple times (Giulietta stated that this was due to rerecording some of the tracks). It was eventually released on July 12, 2012.

* SleeperHit: "Dirty House Music", recorded in 2007 and released in 2008 but not really making much of an impact until 2009.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Some of the piano chord progressions in "Ascension" sound as though they've been lifted directly from Music/SavageGarden's "To The Moon and Back".
** "Like a Ghost" also sounds suspiciously close to Music/HavanaBrown's "We Run the Night", down to the breakdown.
** "Pretty in Pink" essentially sounds like NickiMinaj's "Right Thru Me" in a higher key and a slightly faster tempo.
