Julian Awari Bio

Born in Virginia Beach, VA as Creston Julian Awari, Julian grew up in a single-parent home with his mother, Denise and older brother, Nico. Although Julian had a difficult childhood, he always maintained a positive outlook on life and used music as a means to encourage himself and others. He began singing as a child and would share his talent for neighbors. He joined a local church while in middle school in Norfolk, VA. After graduating high school, Julian devoted his life and music to God and began his new venture in gospel music. At the age of 24, Julian became a licensed and ordained youth pastor in VA. Several years later, he auditioned for BET's Sunday Best and now stands as a top 20 finalist of season 5 which prompted the launch of his debut CD "IDENTITY" in 2013. His appearance opened a door for him to pastor a youth ministry in Miami, FL. He is now a Boom Operator in the United States Air Force stationed in Wichita, KS with his family. Julian has 2 children; Asher (age 6) and Sasha (age 5).
