[3] Her career has progressed online through her videos of pop songs on YouTube, in which she sings harmony with herself and plays acoustic instruments, primarily the ukulele, guitar, melodica, and piano.

[8] On Good Morning America (June 30, 2008), Molly Ringwald stated that she took up the ukulele after seeing Julia Nunes on YouTube.

In January 2009, Nunes played four sold-out shows in London, England, and was interviewed and performed on BBC Radio 1.

[12] In June 2009, she played two shows and participated in the artist signing tent at Bonnaroo, the independent music festival held in Manchester, TN; she also completed a second tour of England.

Nunes began recording her third album of original music in August 2009, working with Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose as producers.

[20] The twelve tracks (ten studio, two live) were recorded with just guitar and voice, without the overdubs which feature in her YouTube videos.

I Wrote These was released on October 15, 2008, containing original compositions by Nunes, except for Track 12, "Sugar Coats", which was co-written with her friend and fellow musician Kirk Stevens.

The album was tracked and mixed at Studio Arts Entertainment and Hilltop Recording in Greenwich, NY, by Peter Kobor and Chris Roberson.

The record features mostly acoustic tracks, although Nunes is joined on a few songs by a full band (including Todd Haviland on bass and Dave Harris on drums).

Nunes began recording her third album of original music in August 2009, and worked with Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn as producers.

"He is Mad", "Pizza", and "I Wasn't Worried" are mini-songs roughly a minute in length, all of which Nunes recorded videos for and posted to YouTube.

[24] The video for her single "Make Out" features extended takes of couples kissing, including band members as well as Nunes and her former girlfriend Dannielle Owens-Reid.
