Her mother is a renowed opera singer in Hungary, and her brother is an international award-winning concert organist. She has started to play the piano and violin when she was six, and she sang in school choirs at an early age. Soon she became interested in many areas of creative arts; she wrote poems, composed music, and took acting lessons. Her interest in human studies led her to win a distingushed award at the National High School Philosophy Contest in 2001. This award served her as a springboard to enter the Eötvös Lóránd University of Budapest majoring in Aesthetics and Philosophy. She earned two Master's Degrees in 2006. While at the University, she turned her interest towards Jazz, and started studying it in a more rigorous manner. She entered a private music school to study with Gábor Winand. She finished the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in 2011 as a student of Ágnes Lakatos and Tamás Berki. Júlia established her own band in 2009, the Júlia Karosi Quartet. Their repertoire consists mostly of original compositions. Their sound is a mixture of classical music and modern jazz, their music is sensible, delicate, looking for a clear-out sonority. In 2009 she got a Special Mentionaward from the Jury of the Voicingers International Jazz Competition For Singing Musicians in Zory, Poland. The title was: "Special Mention to Júlia Karosi, for refreshing approach to jazz singing by the use of original material." The members of the jury included Grazyna Auguscik, David Linx, and Pawel Brodowski. In 2010 after an audition for a Talent-mentor Program organized by the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, the jury chose her as one of the 5 students who deserve special mentoration. The members of the jury were Dániel Szabó, Kristóf Bacsó and Barbara Bércesi. More recently, in 2011 at the Jazz Combo Competition organized by the Hungarian Jazz Federation her Quartet won second place with the singer's composition called "Sketches".
