Page "Juliana Hatfield" Paragraph 2

Following her graduation from Duxbury High School, Hatfield attended Boston University for a semester.

She then transferred as a piano student to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, in the hope of finding a band with which to sing.

There she soon met Freda Boner ( now Freda Love ) and John Strohm, forming the Blake Babies with them in 1986, at the age of 19.

The band, with which she sang and played bass guitar ( as well as some guitar and piano ), was signed to North Carolina's Mammoth Records and received a fair amount of airplay on college radio through the early 1990s.

The group toured the United States several times, performed in Europe, and made several music videos.

Hatfield eventually earned a degree in songwriting from Berklee.
