In addition to her commercial releases, Julia has produced three independent albums, with "Phaedra Runs to Russia" seeing its release in 2007. She has also output singles, various EPs and collaborative music works throughout her artistic journey.
Julia Holter is an alumna to the University of Michigan, having earned her Bachelor's Degree in Composition.

Professor Ramona Gonzalez is an alumna of Occidental College, holding a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy. She performs under the moniker "Nite Jewel", having done so as early as 2008 when she was still an undergraduate with Occidental College.
