Julie Christensen, was born on January 21, 1956, and joined her first band "Longshot", on the day of her 19th birthday.

During that time she also appeared in the film "Boarder Radio", as a door attendant, Chris D. was the lead actor. They got divorced, and she later became the backup singer for Leonard Cohen, appearing on two of his albums, {"I'm Your Man" (1988), and "The Future" (1992)}, and toured with him in concerts. She also has appeared on the television shows; Sunday Night {Night Music}, and Beakman's World. She worked as a studio backing vocalist on several artists albums, and began releasing her own solo albums beginning in 1996. She married her third, and current husband "John Diehl" in 1992. Her band was eventually named "Stone Cupid", after her song, about a statue she saw, when she felt she had been stood up, while waiting for someone. In 2003-2006 she took part in the Leonard tribute tour "Came So Far For Beauty: An Evening Of Leonard Cohen Songs", which was documented in the film "Leonard Cohen: I'm Your man", besides appearing in the film, she also appears on its soundtrack.

As of 2015, she has many song credits to her name, but only one book of poetry called "Stone Cupid: A Book of Words", and should not be confused with the mystery writer with the same name.
