Julia Neigel (born April 19, 1966 in Barnaul, Siberia, Russian SFSR) is a German singer/songwriter, author and producer. Her family moved back to Germany in 1971. She lives in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in Rhineland-Palatinate.

She began with singing at 14 and her first album was released when she was 22. Before, she had made classical music. Her music-style is Pop-Rock, with Soul and R'N'B Influences. Her voice has a range by more than 4 octaves, sounds rough in the depth and strong in the higher ranges. She is also very famous for her live performance.

Her first concert was in 1982. In 1986 she joined the Band 'The Stealers' and founded her own band, 'Jule Neigel & Band' (her nickname was "Jule" until 2005). Her first hit, "Schatten an der Wand" was released in 1987 (#12 in Germany). The first record sold about 200,000 copies and was produced by Ralf Zang, who also was the producer of Chaka Khan. Since then, she sold more than 2 million records, by releasing 7 records in 10 years. She is working as a songwriter, singer, and producer since 1987 and has won many awards. She worked together with Simon Phillips, Paco de Lucia, Helmut Zerlett, Udo Lindenberg and Peter Maffay. She is also a popular artist. Due to legal difficulties because of copyright infringement, through 2 ex-musicians, she didn't work in the music business from 1998 until 2005. She went to court and sued these musicians and got the rights for her first hit. Currently, she has a big complaint against these people, because of 66 other songs of her records. In 2006 she re-started her career and released the live record, "Stimme mit Flügeln."

She has resumed using her birth name, Julia Neigel. Since short time she is standing again on a different big stages, together with Ronan Keating, Ricky Lee Jones, Toto, Status Quo, Mousse T...
