About the Artist

Staying under the radar for almost a decade, Judy Aron writes songs that should be plastered all over the radio. A musical blend of radio-friendly alt-pop and folk-rock, Judy has crafted an indie style that aims to please everyone. However, nothing in her lyrics suggest catering to the masses. One listen to her music and it's clear that reveals herself, heart and soul. She writes about life experiences – her own and those of the people around her. Catchy and meaningful, her music speaks to everyone in some way or another

Judy was born into a musical family, always encouraged to sing and play. However, crippling shyness and stage fright kept her silent. It wasn’t until her senior year of high school that Judy realized that she could sing well at all. She started writing music to accompany her poetry and discovered that she really enjoyed writing songs. And so it began

In college, Judy majored in music education. She played in several bands, sharing the songwriting duties and honing her songwriting skills. After her first band Clueless imploded, she formed Ply with a few fellow music majors. Ply was fun and popular on campus but also short-lived, as was the Freak Ensemble, in which she switched between guitaring and drumming. Fed up with dealing with multiple personalities that weren’t her own, she decided to work on her own solo career

In 2000, Judy released her first official CD, Curious Jude. The CD was well received as a look into her innermost thoughts and feelings. Many consider it her most emotional work to date.

In 2003, she released the last thing on your mind. The CD was a marked departure from the folky and subdued nature of the first CD. Backed by a supporting band of guitarist Rob Ward, drummer Jonathan Ward, and bassist Justin Lee, the recordings were more electric and rocking than Curious.

In 2007 Judy has released "Call It What You Will". Self-recorded and produced, it is a shining example of Judy’s evolution as a writer and singer. It is still catchy, still memorable and still full of meaningful lyrics.

The end of 2009 brought new adventures - She cofunded Chasing June and Tastes Lke Blue - two well received indie-folk-pop duos.  In 2011she released "Under the Slate Gray Sky" with CJ and "The Worst Puzzle of them all" with TLB.  

After lengthy writing and playing with her bands, Judy finally finished her 4th independantly released solo album "Fly" - It contains the top 14 of 22 songs that were written while busy with the bands.  It is a roadmap of the past five  years of her life. 

By day, Judy is an instrumental music teacher in New Jersey. She is often asked why she isn’t famous yet. After she stops laughing, she has two responses. One, she is too socially awkward to handle the business end of the music business. And two, she actually enjoys her day job, so she is reluctant to give it up for the stresses of a struggling musician. The resulting compromise is a musical career of relative anonymity, which is fine with her. As long as the people who do hear the music enjoy it.
