According to the entry in the register of the Munich Art Academy, Julius Hey was the son of a stone polisher (natural stone grinder). Through the mediation of Baron Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen , professor of geology in Gottingen, he began an apprenticeship in copper engraving with the architect and draftsman Francesco Saverio Cavallari from Palermo in Göttingen in 1844 .

On May 2, 1856, the matriculation was received and he began studying painting, which he continued privately with Karl Millner .

Musical stimuli, which he owed to Robert Schumann , Johannes Brahms and Joseph Joachim in Göttingen , prompted him to swap painting for music. In 1859 he became a private student of composition and conducting with General Music Director Franz Lachner in Munich and received singing lessons from Friedrich Schmitt (1812–1884). From 1860 to 1865 Hey gave theory, piano and singing lessons in private homes. His pupils also included members of the Bavarian aristocracy: Hey was employed as a music teacher in the house of the dukes in Bavaria from the beginning of 1864, he also taught Duchess Sophie Charlotte in Bavaria , who later became fiancée of the Bavarian King Ludwig II ) he was engaged as second conductor in Augsburg . In 1864 Hey got to know Richard Wagner , who appointed him to Bayreuth in 1875/76 as a vocal technical adviser and whose vocal style he combined with that of his teacher Schmitt from 1867–1883 ​​as a solo voice teacher at the Academy of Music in Munich. From 1887 he worked as a private music teacher in Berlin , from 1906 in Munich, where he settled in the suburb of Gern.

Julius Hey was married to two daughters of the court attorney Dr. Samuel Benfey (1806–1871), brother of the orientalist Prof. Dr. Theodor Benfey , and Karoline, geb. Coppel (1814–1880): first marriage from 1865 to Karoline (1840–1880), second marriage from 1885 to Amelie (1843–1907).

Hey was the founder of a singing apprenticeship in which tone formation is based on the (German) language. He was the author of the three-part work Deutscher Gesangsunterricht , which appeared around the turn of the century and was a textbook for the voice training of singers. A supplementary volume for actors appeared under the title Der kleine Hey. The Art of Language (today The Art of Speaking ). This book is a standard work in speech education to this day . Sönke Wortmann used his title as a play on words for his film Kleine Haie (1992).
