Julia Medina Martín (born 27 November 1994) is a Spanish singer and songwriter.[1][2]
Under the influence of her mother, a music teacher at a school in San Fernando, Medina began working with a parish choir in her home town at the age of 13, where she was the lead voice on numerous occasions. Later, she performed in bars.[3]

Following her success with Operación Triunfo, Medina signed a recording contract with Universal Music España, which enabled her to release her first album of previously unreleased songs, No dejo de bailar, in October of the following year. The album debuted at number three in the Spanish album charts.[7] No dejo de bailar was followed by a tour of the same name, which included eleven concerts throughout Spain.[8]
In 2021, she released her second studio album, Epicentro.[9] In 2023, she took part in the music show Dúos increíbles.[10]
