From humble beginnings in 2007 at Sydney’s Northern Beaches to international notoriety as both solo artists and together Angus & Julia have conquered the Australian charts, radio waves, and awards ceremonies, particularly with the multi-platinum selling, No. 1 album "Down The Way", which topped the Triple J Hottest 100 and gave us anthems like ‘Big Jet Plane’, and ‘And the Boys,’ the former winning ARIA Song of the Year.
