Nat & Jules first came to public attention winning Warringah Mall's Star Search at the beginning of 2012, aged 9. They have gone on to perform successfully in eisteddfods, talent shows, fundraisers and various public events as a duet, and were featured on Channel 9's Australia's Got Talent in 2013 at 10 years of age, where they reached the semi-finals. The quality of their performances and their exceptional vocal harmonies has seen them crowned winners of a number of local competitions including the Sands Hotel Busking by the Beach and the DY RSL Young Live and Local competitions, run in 2018. In July 2020, they took out 1st place in Northern Composure Unplugged, a youth competition run by Northern Beaches Council. They share a love of contemporary music and perform covers from a diverse range of artists including Beyonce, King Princess, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, Amy Winehouse and the Beatles. They also include in their setlist, original music written by Nat. Together Nat & Jules have performed at a number of northern Sydney venues including the Newport, the Music Lounge and the Eastern Lounge. The girls enjoy live performances the most, and whether its busking on the Corso, entertaining the local markets, or performing to a room of 100+, they are grateful of any opportunity to showcase their music to the wider community. |
Everyone knows Darren can really sing and Bill just loves the piano so together they play their favourite songs from the Australia rock catalogue, the American songbook, classic soul covers and their own original music in a mesmerising show.
Audiences in venues and music festivals around Australia have been delighted by the duo who let their music slide effortlessly into conversations about work, shopping, fame and friends. This is a powerful collaboration featuring fresh interpretations of classic songs and new songs written to deal with personal hardship. Onstage, Bill and Darren talk to each other and the audience is drawn into their unexpected conversations and begin to weave
their own stories into the music. Effortless, authentic and very funny. This is a unique performance by two utterly brilliant musicians |
