Julian Casablancas was born in New York in 1978, and since 1998 he has been the voice and chief songwriter of the Strokes, the band whose debut, Is This It, won the critics over and made him a rock star. As the main songwriter and creative voice, he steered the early records, Room on Fire in 2003 and First Impressions of Earth in 2005.
Then the Strokes went quiet, and in 2009 he stepped out alone with Phrazes for the Young, a solo album that swaps the garage-band crunch for synths and new wave sheen without losing that bored, half-slurred croon. "11th Dimension" and "Out of the Blue" are the proof: bright, busy and a little bit odd, the sound of a guy itching to get out of the garage. The same year he started his own label, Cult Records, which went on to put out the Growlers, Rey Pila and Karen O.
He came back to the Strokes for Angles in 2011 and Comedown Machine in 2013, when the band shared the writing more, and again for The New Abnormal in 2020, their first Grammy winner. Since 2014 he has also fronted the Voidz, an experimental outfit built to chase stranger, less commercial ideas, with three albums so far.
