Maine Native Julia Gagnon Opens Up About Wanting to Disassociate with American Idol

I always love having this girly on my show on Q97.9 simply because she’s just real. She doesn’t sugar coat anything, and she’ll tell you the honest truth about what behind the scenes of going through the public process of American Idol looked like for her. It’s something that I think most of us would rather hear about on social media rather than all the fake scripted stuff we compare ourselves to and ultimately feel badly about.

Cumberland, Maine native, Julia Gagnon came on the morning show today to promote her concert coming up on October 12th, 2024 in Bangor called Little Things. She also talked about how she’s made lifelong friends from American Idol, most of whom she keeps very close touch with. Julia claims that the only role American Idol really plays in all of their lives now is just the simple fact that that’s how they met. In fact she also spoke on the way she’s very much interested in becoming her own entity with her fiancé in the music industry with as little association with the show as possible.

We love an independent woman. She talked all about how she was very grateful for the experiences that American Idol brought her, but she doesn’t want to live in the shadows of the show forever.
