What a woman learned from her dead father’s records

From Music 101, 3:15 pm on 22 March 2025

Jula (who prefers not to publicise her surname) is a 24-year-old from Canada, and when her father died a few years ago she inherited his 10,000-piece record collection. 

She shares the experience of listening through her father’s collection on her Instagram called ‘soundwavesoffwax’; each day, she picks a record at random, plays it, and gives her thoughts.

Her first video racked up more than 10 million views, and for the past six months she’s been connecting with music lovers all over the world.

RNZ producer Sam Hollis spoke to Jula on Music 101.
