Julianna Raye

Julianna Raye is an American songwriter, singer, actress, entrepreneur, and mindfulness teacher.

Music

She became briefly well known in 1993 when her work as a backing singer and songwriter persuaded producer Jeff Lynne and Warner Bros. Records executive Lenny Waronker to give her a major label debut album release on Reprise Records for the album Something Peculiar.[1]

Despite Warner's backing, and Jeff Lynne as producer the 1993 album failed to make a commercial impact and it was not until 2002 that Raye attempted a comeback with a rock pop album Restless Night, produced by Ethan Johns, known for his work with Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, and Linda Ronstadt, on John's independent label 3 Crows Music.[2] She was the opening act for Don Henley and Stevie Nicks.

Mindfulness

In 2016, she founded Unified Mindfulness LLC with Dave Dennis, Harold Abilock, and Donald W. McCormick, Ph.D. Unified Mindfulness is a company that provides mindfulness programs and mindfulness teacher training programs. It is committed to using teaching methods that are based in research. The approach to mindfulness that is taught is one that was developed by Shinzen Young. This approach is also called Unified Mindfulness.
