Hi, I’m Julia McDougall, a Vancouver-based musician, songwriter, and teaching artist. I’ve been creating and performing as Yawn, collaborating on projects across Canada—from the Vancouver Mural Festival to Sled Island and Banff Centre residencies. I write, sing, and perform with keyboard and synth, and I love building songs that connect with people.
As an educator, I teach songwriting at the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, guiding young artists to find their voice and craft. My work spans live performance, recording, and community projects, and I’m passionate about nurturing creativity through mentoring and collaboration.
