Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Los Angeles, Juliette grew up with an actor father, Geoffrey Lewis, and began acting while young. Her performance as Danielle Bowden in Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear brought an Academy Award nomination. Films including Natural Born Killers and Strange Days followed.
Finding her band.
She formed Juliette and the Licks in 2003 and released the debut EP ...Like a Bolt of Lightning in 2004. The band followed with You’re Speaking My Language in 2005 and Four on the Floor in 2006. Dave Grohl played drums on the latter, an experience she later described as a form of mentorship.
Her own musical direction.
For the 2009 solo album Terra Incognita, she worked with producer Omar Rodríguez-López of the Mars Volta. She told NME that changing her sound meant discovering what she wanted as a musician. Future Deep followed in 2016, with collaborators including Isabella Summers and members of Cage the Elephant.
Across stages and screens.
Fans also know her as Natalie in Yellowjackets and Denise in Welcome to Chippendales. In 2026 she brought the two sides of her performing life together on Broadway, making her debut as Magenta in The Rocky Horror Show.
