Julie F (she/they) - Berlin - 2022
Our paths first merged on week 2 of me landing in Berlin (I was here to stay but without a flat but had landed at AKA gratefully). I was over the moon to be offered a room by the studio with someone in long term sobriety (we hit the ground running, even if they were recently in a grieving process).
In those days we went to NA (that’s their main fellowship and you will understand who after listening to the historical account of the unmanageability). Next the cutest little handful of a puppy came into the mix and was named Rooney (I didn’t understand back then but have since come to dig Rooney Mara, but not for the same reasons).
It’s been impressive (and concerning) to watch how one can need fellowship and that surrounds it and slowly pull away but stay clean. Julie has always been making music with their partner Jane (and at times others in the band but often just the pair) and a solo project that speaks volumes. We had a blast expanding on: What it was like, What happened, and What it’s like now.
Enjoy.
