He said that he wanted to be closer to his father, which "translated into teenage rebelliousness".[7]His mother later marriedGhanaianpainter Sam Adoquei,[8][9]who helped shape Julian's musically by exposing him to music likethe Doors,which was markedly different from the mostlyPhil Collins-influenced music he listened to as a child.[10]Prior to becoming a musician, he aspired to play professional basketball.[11]

Julian Casabancas has several half-siblings, including an elder sister from his father's first marriage,[12]and three other siblings from his father's third marriage.[13]Julian met future Strokes bassistNikolai Fraiturewhen they were six years old,[14]while they both attended the bilingual French schoolLycée Français de New York.[15][16]When he was 13, his father sent him to theInstitut Le Roseyboarding school in Switzerland, to improve his grades, where he met future Strokes guitaristAlbert Hammond, Jr.[17]Julian later returned to New York City and attended Dwight School with two other future Strokes bandmates: guitaristNick Valensiand drummerFabrizio Moretti.[17][18]Julian never finished high school, but took theGEDand enrolled in music classes atFive Towns College,which he later said was the first time that he enjoyed himself in class.[19][20][21]He later attendedAdelphi Universityclass of 2001,[22]studying with Pulitzer prize winning composerPaul Moravec.[23]

Career

edit

The Strokes (1998–present)

edit
Main article:The Strokes
Casablancas with the Strokes in 2002

After meeting future guitarist Nick Valensi and drummer Fab Moretti at Dwight School in Manhattan, Julian Casablancas began to play music with them. He reconnected with guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. when the latter moved to New York. The band was formed in 1998 when Hammond was accepted into the band,[24]with Casablancas as the lead vocalist and main songwriter and Nikolai Fraiture on bass.[25]

The band began rehearsing a fourteen-song set which included "Alone, Together", "Barely Legal", "Last Nite","The Modern Age","New York City Cops "," Soma "," Someday "," Take It or Leave It "and" This Life "(an early version of" Trying Your Luck "). Most of these songs now feature different lyrics. A demo sent to the newly reformedRough Trade Recordsin the UK sparked interest there, leading to their first release via the website of the UK magazineNME,who gave away a free mp3 download of "Last Nite"a week prior to the physical release as part ofThe Modern AgeEPin 2001. The EP sparked a bidding war among record labels, the largest for a rock and roll band in years. Shortly after, the Strokes' critically acclaimed debut albumIs This Itwas released.

The band has received the highest of praise forIs This It,setting the stage for what people expected would "save rock" in the new millennium.[26]Though some would argue that such statements left unreasonably sized shoes to fill, the Strokes are still highly recognized as one of the most influential garage rock bands of the early 2000s, paving the way for many alternative bands to come.[27]

However, the group found it difficult to replicate their early critical success.[28]In an excerpt from Lizzie Goodman'sMeet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City, 2001–2011–named after the Strokes' track – Strokes guitarist, Albert Hammond Jr., comments, "WithRoom on Fire[2003], people were giving us sh_ because they said we were sounding too much the same. With the third album [First Impressions of Earth], we were getting sh_ that we don't sound likeRoom on Fire.We got __ by the same thing twice! "[29]

After the release of the two other albums and several major tours, the band took a five-year break, returning with their fourth albumAnglesin 2011.[30]The five-year hiatus was said to be the result of conflicting solo projects, sobriety issues, and unspoken emotions. The Strokes' drummer Fab Moretti said the band struggled to process such "subconscious volcanic emotions", partly because they were still "children" at the time.[29]

Although their creative processes have been critiqued by outside observers as "a democracy under a dictator",[31]Casablancas said in 2010 that the band was moving "more in the direction of everyone being equal."[32]Commenting on Casablancas' creative process, guitarist Nick Valensi has said, "his ear is so sharp. He's the one with the ear for detail in this band. Creatively, he is a force to be reckoned with."[31]The 2011 release,Angles,is said to reflect the beginning of the more collaborative nature of the band's creative process.[33]

The album release was followed by several headlining appearances at musical festivals, includingReading,Coachella,LollapaloozaandAustin City Limits.[34]The band releasedComedown Machinein 2013, as their last album under the contract with long-time labelRCA,for which they did no promotion.[35]The band released an EP,Future Present Past,on Casablancas' own label Cult Records in 2016.[36]

In December 2018, it was announced that the band would headline atBilbao BBK Livein 2019, kicking off their global comeback.[37]Numerous dates for festivals and shows were subsequently announced, including a show at theGovernors Ball Music Festival,marking the band's return to New York City.[38]

Starting May 14, 2019, the Strokes teased some new songs, starting with "The Adults are Talking",live atThe Wilternin Los Angeles, suggesting that the Strokes might release a new album.[39]On December 31, 2019, at Brooklyn NYE, they performed "Ode to the Mets"as an offer from Casablancas to sing live instead of singing songs fromAnglesas requested by fans. "I don't rememberAngles.What'sAngles?"Casablancas responded before suggesting that the band play the new song and later confirming the release of a new project.[40]

The band released the albumThe New Abnormalin April 2020, though writing sessions for songs on the album started as early as 2016. The following year, there was rumors that they were working withRick Rubinfor a new album, however Albert Hammond Jr. said they were only presenting ideas to him.[41]However, he would eventually end up producing the album. It was their first full-length album sinceComedown Machine.The album won the band their first Grammy Award, receiving the award for Best Rock Album. The album received positive reviews from critics, suggesting that the band came back with more maturity and better cohesion among the bandmates.[42]

Cult Records

edit

In 2009, Casablancas foundedCult Records,the creative imprint for his solo albumPhrazes for the Young.The label signed a partnership agreement withKobalt Label Servicesin 2014, which includes representation and product management, physical distribution across multiple territories, digital distribution throughAWAL,marketing and sync licensing services.[43]Cult currently[when?]representsthe Growlers,Har Mar Superstar,Songhoy Blues,Rey Pila,Karen O,Promiseland, the Strokes, the Voidz, Exhibition andCerebral Ballzy.The label has also released works of Albert Hammond Jr.,the Virgins,Reputante, INHEAVEN, Exclamation Pony and Nelson London (C O L O R).

Casablancas served as a co-producer on Rey Pila's album released on Cult,The Future Sugar.[44]In August 2016, Cult Records announced a new album withthe Growlers,a Southern California-based band. It was also announced that Casablancas himself was producing the album, later known asCity Club.[45]

Solo projects (2009–present)

edit

As a solo artist, Casablancas set out with an intention to say what was on his mind, both musically and lyrically.[46]Speaking on his experience as a solo artist versus releasing music with the Strokes, the singer has put it simply, "it's like touring with me or with five of me," meaning that each member has their own opinionated state of mind. While such statements raised much concern for the relations between the band members, Casablancas says that in pursuit of a solo career, he is protecting the integrity of the [Strokes] vibe.[47]In having a musical project separate from the Strokes, he is able to "chase down any idea [he] wants", which he would refrain from doing with the band.[48]

His first solo album,Phrazes for the Young(inspired by theOscar Wildebook "Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young" ), was released on November 2 in the UK and November 3, 2009, in the United States.[49]Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska, and New York, the album was produced by Jason Lader, with additional production fromBright Eyes'Mike Mogis.[50]The album was strongly influenced bynew waveandelectronica,with Casablancas utilizingsynthesizersfor many songs. He discussed his new styling by saying "I would've gone weirder with the music, but I wanted to be smart. I didn't want people to say, 'Okay, this is his weird abstract thing,' and dismiss the album. I worked too hard on it for that to happen... I wanted to be crazy original and bridge the gap between traditional music and modern music."[51]

Julian Casablancas made his live solo debut for a private party for the introduction of a fashion brand inTokyo.[52]To celebrate the release of the EP, he performed a series of shows in October 2009 at The Downtown Palace Theatre in Los Angeles with his live show band, the Sick Six. Members of the band includedJeff Kite(keyboard), Nelson London (synthesizer), JP Bowersock (guitar),Danielle Haim(percussion) andAlex Carapetis(drums).[53]Casablancas then toured with the Sick Six in Europe, United States, Australia, and Japan from November 2009 until July 2010.[54][55][56]

Casablancas composed the original song "I Like the Night" as part of his endorsement deal to represent Azzaro's new men's fragrance Decibel, dB. The Azzaro Decibel television commercial featuring Julian aired in France on September 1, 2011.[57]He hosted a monthly music showCulture Voidon Sirius XMU between May 2016 and February 2017, where he curated and shared some music across genres.[58]

The Voidz (2013–present)

edit
Main article:The Voidz

The Voidz, formerly known as Julian Casablancas + the Voidz, was formed in 2013. Along with Casablancas as lead vocalist, the band consists of Jeramy "Beardo" Gritter and Amir Yaghmai on guitar, Jacob "Jake" Bercovici on bass (as well as synthesizer), Alex Carapetis on drums and percussion, and Jeff Kite on keyboard.[citation needed]Wanting to earn a greater sense of respect as a band, rather than be perceived as a "side-project" of Julian's, the band officially changed their name from "Julian Casablancas + the Voidz" to simply "the Voidz" during an 'initiation' video on the band's YouTube page on December 8, 2017.[59][60]Julian performed with Carapetis and Kite throughout the tour for his solo album,Phrazes for the Young.Through Carapetis, Casablancas met Gritter and Bercovici. Bercovici, having played music with Yaghmai for several of years, then connected him to Casablancas, forming what is now known as the Voidz.[61]

Though the band's sound has not always been well received, the Voidz aim to "bridge the gap" between music that is both aggressive and complex.[46]They share the goal of "representing things unseen" and "exploring [music] from the margins", as Jake [Bercovici] has said.[62]Inspired by the complex nature of Middle Eastern music scales, Casablancas says he is more interested in "the in between notes" than the traditional seven note scale of Western music.[63]The band is bound by a mutual love for powerful music that does not gain much attention in mainstream media, which is embodied in Julian's record company, Cult Records, as well.[62]Casablancas says his work with the Voidz is simply an "evolution of the same mission" [as with the Strokes],[64]but the Voidz are more aligned with the type of music with which he would like to experiment, moving forward.[65]Though the Voidz remain a more active musical entity, both bands are still currently represented under Cult Records.

In June 2014, Casablancas announced he would be releasing the debut albumTyranny.The album was released on his own label Cult Records[66]and coincided with his move to Upstate New York.[8]On September 23, 2014, the album was released, followed by a tour in the United States and United Kingdom.[67]The album features the 11-minute single "Human Sadness", a song whose demo was originally composed for the soundtrack ofThe Unseen Beauty,a short documentary film which profiled Casablancas' stepfather, artist Sam Adoquei.[68]The group revealed dates for a South American tour in August 2017.[69]

On March 30, 2018, the Voidz released their second album, titledVirtue.[70]The album takes on a more political stance, dissecting universal concepts such as the paradox between what is perceived as "truth" and "lies", when taking multiple perceptual view points into consideration.[71]The album features track, "Pyramid of Bones", which was featured onAdult Swimin April 2018, along with their single "Coul as a Ghoul" on the Adult Swim's Singles Program.[72][73]

The Voidz released their third albumLike All Before Youon September 20 2024. The album's themes were once again political in nature with Casablancas seeking to fuse experimental sounds and ideas with pop hooks.[74]

Musical influences and legacy

edit

Casablancas citesthe Doorsas one of his earliest musical influences, though he specifies that he was influenced by their musical style rather than the public image of their vocalist and frontmanJim Morrison.[60]He has also citedLou Reedofthe Velvet Undergroundas a major influence on his lyrics and singing style. He stated in aRolling Stoneinterview, "The way Lou Reed wrote and sang about drugs and sex, about the people around him — it was so matter-of-fact. He could be romantic in the way he portrayed these crazy situations, but he was also intensely real. It was poetry and journalism." Additionally, he has stated thatBob Marley,[98]Nirvana,andPearl Jamare major influences on his work, even referring to the Pearl Jam song "Yellow Ledbetter"as the reason he started making music.[99]He also, in agreement with several of his Voidz bandmates, namedStevie Wonderas a composer with a "next level mind".[60]

Casablancas has served as inspiration for several other musicians includingAlex Turnerof theArctic Monkeysand the painterElizabeth Peyton.[100]Courtney Love's song "But Julian, I'm a Little Bit Older Than You" from her debut solo albumAmerica's Sweetheart(2004) was written about Casablancas.[101]

Politics

edit

Although he has named the2004 re-electionofGeorge W. Bushas what first motivated his interest in politics, it was only throughout the 2010s that Casablancas became increasingly vocal about his political concerns.[64]He has expressed a belief that "whoever's propaganda's the loudest" determines popularity within politics and music alike.[63]He is an ardent supporter ofindependent mediaand has also shown support for theBoycott Divestment and Sanctions(BDS) movement.[116]Casablancas has citedOliver Stone,Chris Hedges,Noam Chomsky,Jesse Ventura,andHoward Zinnas political influences,[63][64]Martin Luther King Jr.as his favorite philosopher,[64]andPaul Robesonas a role model for politically engaged musicians.[63]

Guests includedAmy Goodman,Andrew Yang,Richard D. Wolff,andNoam Chomsky,while much of Casablancas' questioning centered ondemocratic reformand the influence ofspecial interest groupson politics and the media.

Casablancas refused to vote in the2024 US presidential election,saying "The two parties are a joke – a horrible lie" and that he "[saw] little point in choosing between these puppets...".[122]
