Julien-K began as a side project for electronic music created by Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck from Orgy, with the later addition of Brandon Belsky and Elias Andra.

The first album, "Death to Analog", which was mixed by Tim Palmer, has yet to be scheduled for release.

Julien-K's webpage began in the summer of 2003 with the demo versions of songs Look at You, Kick the Bass, Someday Soon, Everyone Knows, and Technical Difficulties. Up until 2007, the webpage said "Coming Soon." Since the official webpage launch, the site now has a wealth of information, links, photos, and other media.

In 2007 Julien-K was on the mainstage for Projekt Revolution tour and one of the opening bands for the North American tour of Evanescence: "The Open Door". In 2008, Julien-K opened for Mindless Self Indulgence on the latter band's 2008 tour.

Collaborations with Chester Bennington

Julien-K teamed up with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park to perform the song "Let Down" for the televised concert.

The Julien-K production team of Amir Derakh, Ryan Shuck, Brandon Belsky, and Anthony 'Fu' Valcic also worked with Chester Bennington to perform an exclusive version of the song "Morning After" for the and for the remix album of the band Mindless Self Indulgence's "What Do They Know?". The track was released as a bonus remix on "Another Mindless Rip Off".

Julien-K have also teamed up on Chester Bennington's solo project. The band is called Dead By Sunrise, formerly known as Snow White Tan. Dead By Sunrise is said to release their debut album in 2009.

During Projekt Revolution 2007, Bennington replaced lead singer Ryan Shuck for the Chicago date of the tour while Shuck attended his brother's wedding.

JK DJS

Aside from the band, Amir Derakh and Brandon Belsky DJ under the moniker of JK DJS. They did their first DJ performance together during December 31 2007 at a hotel resort in Del Mar (San Diego), California.
