Julian Kayl Mandrake (born June 23, 1970 in San Diego, CA) is a guitarist best known for his work with the bands Blue October, Canvas, and Mothers Anthem.

Julian's career in rock music began growing up in Lubbock, Texas where he found his passion for music at a young age. Julian is most notably recognized for his work with the band Canvas and with platinum recording artists, Blue October.

He was the lead guitarist for Brother Love, working with Robert Wagner on vocals, Phil Galacia on bass and Xavier Muriel (of Buckcherry) on drums. In 1998 they released an eponymous album that was produced by Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, KISS). He also played lead guitar in the Teri Timms fronted rock band Onyxx from Austin, Texas. In 2002 Julian temporarily joined Matt Noveskey's band A+ Machines and recorded demos with the band, but departed before playing any public shows.

Julian played lead guitar in the band Canvas from 1999 until the band parted ways in 2006. That same year, Julian played guitar on Blue October's Foiled tour, covering Justin Furstenfeld's guitar parts while Justin was injured. His performances included Lollapalooza on August 4, 2006, as well as Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 28, 2006. Julian can be seen performing with Blue October during their 2006 VH1 sessions and he also played Blue October's first shows in Europe, Mexico and Canada. Most notably, Julian performed with Blue October during their November 14, 2006 concert, opening for The Rolling Stones.
