Singer Julliany Souza, from the song 'Ah Jesus' Disclosure For artists in the gospel world, the concept of going viral on social media with a song is not common. Even without the numbers of a secular hit, Julliany Souza achieved this feat with “Ah, Jesus”, a song that is in the top 50 on Spotify and placed the artist among the most listened to in the country in the last week, ahead of names like Thiaguinho, Ludmilla, Luísa Sonza on the streaming platform. Julliany's success is usually present, in addition to Christian videos, in motivational content on various themes, which show images of social ills or individual overcoming. Part of the explanation for its success lies in the lyrics which, despite their Christian focus, have a universal message of forgiveness. You know that thing about “Jesus turned the other cheek”? "I didn't turn the other cheek / Only my ego listened / I even loved my friends / But I hated my enemies", says an excerpt from the song. To g1, the singer explains that she is still scared by the repercussions and numbers of her work. However, she already believed in the potential of “puncturing bubbles”. "The message addressed by this song touches on a real need of human beings in their interpersonal relationships: the importance of trying to love others more. Therefore, it ended up fitting into many current themes." "I've been following some things, but, to summarize, it went far beyond my voice, the reach of my social networks or my own segment. I can only understand this as God's purpose for Brazil." One of the composers of “Ah Jesus” is Leo Brandão, Julliany’s husband. She says her home is very musical. Even her 10-month-old children, twins José and Maria, are undergoing a kind of introduction to art. Singer Julliany Souza, from the song 'Ah Jesus' Disclosure The singer explains that, when presented with the composition, she cried a lot due to the strength of the message. Regarding the numbers achieved in less than a month of release, she says that she ends up being oblivious to this process as this dynamic is far from the gospel universe. "Without any demagoguery, I'm not a person linked to numbers. Obviously, I'm very happy to see the scope of all this. I confess that the fear in my heart increases, as does the responsibility. It's a very big responsibility." "I understand that it's not about me, but about the message that is being transmitted. I can only rejoice in God and feel the weight of speaking to a generation that ends up looking at me and seeking to learn more about Christ." Now on g1 Julliany Souza: from Casa Worship to life as an influencer At 28 years old, Julliany is one of the biggest names in gospel, having competed for the Latin Grammy in the category of best Christian album in 2025 with “A Maior Hora”. The winner was “Memóri4s (Ao Vivo)”, by Eli Soares. Born to a daughter of musicians, she started playing music as a child, in Goiânia – her hometown. Between 2018 and 2022, she was part of the group Casa Worship, being one of the vocalists In 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she experienced similar success with “Ah, Jesus.” With a “little push” from influencer Maíra Cardi, the song “A Casa É Sua” was a success on YouTube and Instagram. "We saw how thirsty people are for words of hope, of love. We saw how empty people are of this. And we believe that in a certain way this has boosted our work", Julliany told g1 at the time, recalling the success during the pandemic. Casa Worship was a worship music group, with compositions that talk a lot about God, but with messages that, even if in a lateral way, are universal. The members also had a behavior that spoke to the young audience, whether in digital language, the way they dressed and even the sound. The band had a sound inspired by Coldplay. Much closer to the pop than the rock of the band led by Chris Martin, Julliany maintained the other elements of dialogue with youth in his solo career. And she added another factor that generates identification beyond the gospel world: her relationship with the networks. Julliany is a kind of digital influencer. On her Instagram with more than 2 million followers, she shares her daily life, especially as a mother. "I try to use digital tools to show that life is not perfect, but that it is possible to get closer to God in a practical way on a daily basis. I am very happy with this reach and I realize that, by showing this real life, people identify more with the songs."
