Julia Cole has been a Mizuno Ambassador since 2020 and has been a driving force for women in sports with the brand. She has amassed over 27 million streams and has been featured on CMT, Spotify’s Hot Country, Radio Disney, Apple Music’s Country Risers, and more. Julia’s music style blends authentic country storytelling with a little rhythm and attitude. She got her start performing National Anthems and will continue that tradition at this game.

 

“When you see my 20 million plays music streams and worldwide tours across social media, you know I’m a musician, but you may not know I actually got my start as a musician while I was an athlete – singing the National Anthem, while wearing Mizuno Volleyball shoes, at my own high school volleyball games,” said Julia Cole, Mizuno Ambassador, and Nashville recording artist. “This is truly a full-circle moment to now be singing the National Anthem at a major sporting event as a Mizuno Ambassador. It’s been a dream come true to work with Mizuno in an athletic and musical sense and using my song ‘Honey Child’ as part of Mizuno’s latest women empowerment campaign called Her Own Story.”
