Full-Time Social Media Manager (Contract Role | Music Industry | Los Angeles - Hybrid)
Julia Blum Music LLC is an independent boutique music company based in Beverly Hills. Established in 2025, the company is led by singer, songwriter, and composer Julia Blum, who oversees all aspects of the creative process - from composition and production to release and distribution.
Our mission is to create powerful, inspirational impact through music, with revenue as a secondary outcome rather than the primary driver. The brand centers around Julia's story and artistry, with a focus on building authentic, lasting connection and meaningful value for listeners and subscribers.
Julia Blum's work is rooted in a lifelong dedication to music. She began performing professionally at a young age, then excelled in the performing arts at Beverly Hills High School and Yale University, also enrolling at Harvard along the way. She went on to release two albums, Stand Tall and Songs of the Heart, reaching tens of thousands of listeners across the United States and internationally. After spending time to focus on family, she has returned to singing, songwriting, and composing, and is currently releasing her most ambitious body of work to date.
Julia has an untapped audience of tens of thousands of listeners from previous albums, tours, and concerts-built prior to the rise of streaming and social media. Much of this audience is unaware of her recent return to music. We are focused on re-engaging that base while expanding to new audiences across multiple demographics.
