Julia Michaels
American singer and songwriter (born 1993)
Julia Carin Michaels (née Cavazos; born November 13, 1993) is an American singer and songwriter. She has received six Grammy Award nominations, including twice for Song of the Year and Best New Artist, as well as nominations from the MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards.
Born in Iowa and raised in California, Michaels began her career writing for other artists at the age of 16. Following her success from doing so, she signed to Republic Records as a recording artist to release her 2017 debut single, "Issues". The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, received quintuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and preceded her third extended play (EP), Nervous System (2017). The EP and its follow-up, Inner Monologue Part 1 (2019), both moderately entered the Billboard 200. Her debut studio album, Not in Chronological Order (2021), was met with critical praise despite commercial failure.
In her songwriting career, Michaels has been credited on songs for Selena Gomez, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Fifth Harmony, Shawn Mendes, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Gwen Stefani, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tate McRae, among others. She has co-written two Billboard Hot 100-number one songs: Bieber's "Sorry" and Gomez's "Lose You to Love Me". As a guest performer, she appeared on the singles "If the World Was Ending" by JP Saxe, "I Miss You" by Clean Bandit, and "Coming Home" by Keith Urban.

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20051697. VIAF identifies the subject as 6072149235106076690009. The Library of Congress control number is n2017020785. 2 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
