A content creator who once dreamed of becoming a model but was told she was too short has built a thriving career alongside her identical twin sister – and has even taught herself a second language along the way.
Julia Burch, 25, grew up in a small northern city in Canada where she spent her childhood as a competitive dancer, training in everything from contemporary and ballet to hip hop and musical theatre.
The 5ft 3in creator always dreamed of modelling professionally but found opportunities limited in her hometown – and her height worked against her in the traditional fashion world.
So she took matters into her own hands, turning to social media to carve out her own path.
“I couldn’t model professionally, so I thought at least I could take my own photos and post them to my own platforms,” said Julia, who has over 2 million Instagram followers @juliaaburch.
“My love for modelling often revolved around fashion and bikini modelling specifically, so taking sexually suggestive photos was something I was more drawn to naturally.
“But with the guidelines of the social media platforms I was posting on, I was limited with the type of content I could post.
“That’s when I discovered OnlyFans and thought it would be the perfect platform for me to post the type of content that I love without any restrictions.”
Julia, who also landed a small acting role as ‘Tassie’ in the hit Canadian TV series Letterkenny, says being an identical twin has helped her stand out from other creators.
She and her sister brainstorm content ideas together, bouncing concepts back and forth before settling on their best ones.
“It’s definitely helpful having a sister to bounce ideas off,” she said.
“Seeing what my fellow creator friends are creating is also a great way to find inspiration.”
The pair are also part of a content group called the DigiDemonz, where they create comedy skits and collaborate on unique projects.
Julia describes her brand as “fun and sexy with a little bit of silliness sprinkled in there” and says she wants her content to spread positivity and happiness.
She said: “I want to share happy vibes and bring positivity to the people that consume my content, while also providing silly entertainment.
“I love being my true self as much as possible on social media.”
Some of her most creative work has come through cosplay, despite not doing it often.
She said: “I have a lot of fun putting together the outfits and doing fun makeup for these looks.”
But not every fan request makes the cut.
Julia revealed one particularly bizarre message that left her baffled.
“One time someone asked me to rip up one of my plushies and to eat the stuffing on video,” she said.
“I politely declined that request.”
Unlike many creators who face backlash from loved ones, Julia says she has been fortunate to have unwavering support from her family.
“My mum has always been my biggest fan since the beginning,” she said.
“I know a lot of people that have had really bad experiences with their families finding out about their jobs as an OnlyFans content creator.
“I thankfully have never had any bad experiences with my friends or family finding out.
“They are all super supportive and even help me film content sometimes.”
Her career has opened doors she never imagined – including walking for OnlyFans at New York Fashion Week.
She said: “My life has changed more than I could have ever imagined.
“I’ve got to meet so many amazing people because of my job and I’ve gotten the opportunity to experience so many amazing things.”
And while building her content empire, Julia has also been quietly pursuing another goal – learning German.
“I think a lot of people would be surprised that I’m almost fluent in German,” she said.
“I learned the language completely on my own for the past two years.”
Looking ahead, Julia plans to post consistently across all her platforms and create more challenge videos with her DigiDemonz group.
But she also has a warning for those new to the industry.
“My advice would be to be aware that not everyone in this industry has your best interests in mind,” she said.
“Fortunately most of the people I’ve met have been nothing but kind, but I’ve definitely had a few run-ins with some very bad people that prey on the ignorance and innocence of people new to this industry.”
