Julia Cumming<\/a> does not subscribe to the \u201cNew York or nowhere\u201d mentality. The East Village native, who moved to the Golden Coast in August 2024, loves her life as a Los Angeles resident \u2014 even when work brings her back to her hometown 25 days out of the month. \u201cI didn’t have the college experience of, \u2018I’m going to Colorado for four years and this is my time to be a person.\u2019 This is my time to define myself outside of the location that I grew up in,” she tells NYLON over coffee and Coca-Cola at the Chelsea Hotel. \u201cI really wanted the chance to develop my own relationship with the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder why she needed to get away; Cumming has been the poster child of cool since she burst onto the scene with her rock band Sunflower Bean<\/a> in 2016. The status was thrust upon her, rather unfairly, thanks to her eminence in the NYC underground and her turn as Hedi Slimane’s muse circa 2018. But if everything goes according to plan, that\u2019ll all change on April 24 when the 30-year-old singer-songwriter releases her debut solo album, Julia<\/em>. \u201cF*ck cool,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is the anti-cool record.\u201d<\/p>\n
