Biography:
Juliet Simmons is a part time human being; part-time anime hound and shy, quiet college student-well, for the most part. In the limelight, she is an actress and vocalist, voicing a variety of characters at Sentai Filmworks while also recording covers as the popular YouTube singer & utaite, JubyPhonic.

In over 6 years at Sentai Filmworks, Juliet has performed as a voice talent-voice actress & vocalist. She is nearing the 100 dubs mark, having recorded now over 80 shows. In 2016 she was nominated for BTVA Dub Awards 2015 for Best Female Lead Vocal Performance in an Anime Movie & in 2017, alongside a stellar cast, was nominated for the 2016 Best Vocal Ensemble Performance in an Anime series. In 2018 she made 3 nominations for the 2017 BTVA Awards: Best Female Supporting Vocal Performance in an Anime series, Best Vocal Ensemble in an Anime series, plus 2017 Voice Actress of the Year! She appeared on national tv on Cartoon Network's Toonami in Akame Ga Kill as Kurome and she also played Chiyo Sakura in Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun to rave reviews. Chiyo was such a fun dream role and favorite character that she says she feels she can 'now die happy'. Other favorite characters so far have been Midori Tokiwa from Tamako Market and Madoka Harumi from Dog & Scissors. She also really enjoyed the challenge of singing lots of vocals as the lead of Anonymous Noise, Nino Arisugawa, plus was the voice of globally popular Kitty in the Hello Kitty 2018 dubs.

JubyPhonic is Juliet's singer persona and name for her YouTube channel with over three quarters of a million fans & subscribers. With near a third of a billion views, fans and collaborators from around the world come together to listen or to create--her covers have been translated into near 40 languages. As JubyPhonic, she has shared her English covers of Japanese VOCALOID & anime recordings over the internet now 7 years--since age 17. She writes translyrics, sings, records, mixes, subs, and at times makes artwork for her own English covers of favorite synthetic Japanese singers and bedroom composers aka VOCALOID. Her purpose was to make the uniquely evocative and story-telling computer songs accessible to a broader audience with quality English renditions. The channel took off quickly, and she never looked back.

People sometimes are curious about how exactly she got her start down these creative paths. She says that performing and being creative just felt like it came naturally. And it definitely helped that she shared in all the family artistic pursuits since little - innumerable musical theater performances, dance & voice recitals, choir shows, acting classes for theater/film, art & electronic media, and lots and lots of vocal training. From there, one thing just led to another.

Not too bad for a three year old, raised on the painted pages of harems and gunslingers, stuck hard on anime with her siblings. And all forced to leave the house for endless hours of acting & singing lessons due to a loving, concerned mother. Three years and countless anime dreams fulfilled later, she has arrived at a point in her life that would most likely bring three-year old Juliet to her knees in shock.
