Jules RusliJules believes that every woman is beautiful, talented and has a great potential to live their lives to the fullest.
Immaculate, dynamic, and multi-talented, these are only a glimpse description of an amazing woman, Jules Rusli. Her passion for music began at the age of 8 and song writing becomes one of her forte that leads to winning the 1st prize EMERGE talent youth original song writing competition in 2005.
Aside from her profession as a flight attendant in one of the well-known airlines in Singapore, Jules is part of a band called 3PM (www.3pmband.com) as one of the songwriters and singers. She was involved with band’s LA tour in 2013.
Jules believes that every woman is beautiful, talented and gas a great potential to live their lives to the fullest. Her dream is to use music as one of the means to inspire women around the world about love, hope, and faith.
Through FantabulouZ, Jules aspires to reach out not only through music but also via community that will bring inspiration to women, touching different aspects of their lives, bringing faith and new hope.
She wants people know that FantabulouZ is not equal to perfect girls with perfect lives. We are far from that. But no matter how difficult life is, we should never ever give up on it. Everybody has his/her own battles, but life teaches us how to become a better person. Without a battle there will be no victory, without rain there will be no rainbow and without a test, there will be no reward.
She hopes everybody will carry FantabulouZ mindset and attitude. It means even your life is not perfect and seems unfair to you, you still decide to have right attitude towards life. The willingness to learn and to grow out from our past failures, to celebrate life and to keep doing what we love, that is FantabulouZ attitude!

“I believe with Love all things are possible. Love is God and God is love. I believe if we dare to dream and never give up, every step will lead us to a new miracle”
