Julien Oomen is an Amsterdam-based musician who draws inspiration from spiritual ceremonies.
 
The larger part of his songs is triggered by ceremonies at De Oase (the Netherlands) where Ralph Nelissen of The Potential School invites him to assist musically. While being a witness to the transformational process of many men and women, Julien moves closer to his own center of stillness. From that stillness, words and music come like waves.
​
In July 2018, Julien released "Oase Sessions I ", followed by "Oase Sessions II"  in April 2019.
​
For live shows Julien often teams up with his partner Lenneke van Staalen, a master​ of (northern) Indian classical music on violin, who comps him in his songs as well as playing mesmerising improvisations. Other collaborations include Pernilla Kannapinn and Diego Nicolás Rodriguez.
