ABOUT US

Welcome to our website! We are a father-daughter singing duo based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

While we’ve been singing together for quite a while, we shot to internet fame in 2020 after videos of us singing The Prayer & Time To Say Goodbye went viral, leading to us being mistaken for the son & granddaughter of Andrea Bocelli.


We released our debut album, Just Duet (you can buy it here), in October 2021 with the support of our fans and friends from around the world. 


In 2022 we toured South Africa with our show, Accidentally Viral. In 2023 and 2024 we have been touring South Africa and the UK with our latest show, Striking a Chord, featuring fan favourites such as The Prayer, Time To Say Goodbye and Sound of Silence as well as a host of new and interesting music.  Striking a Chord talks about the impact of music on our lives and the lives of our family, friends and fans around the world.  Head on over to the events page to see when the next shows are happening!


In April 2025 we will be in Vancouver, Canada for a series of performances of Striking a Chord as well as other, more relaxed musical events. Keep an eye on our events page for all the info on where you can buy tickets.

Adrian Galliard

I’m the dad – also known as Emma-Jean’s backing singer. I was fortunate enough to study drama at The University of the Witwatersrand, and singing with the renowned vocal coach, Sarie Lamprecht. After studying I appeared in a number of productions including Annie, Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat and A Funny Thing Happened on The Way to The Forum.  

Since I believe there is always more to learm, I am continuing my vocal training, specialising in classical voice, under the wonderful Eugenie Chopin.


Emma-Jean and I collaborate on all aspects of our music – except the technological side which I leave up to Emma-Jean and her mom.

My hobbies include mountain biking, tennis, football (or soccer to the  Americans) and I play a mean game of touch rugby with my son, Christopher every Thursday night.

I started singing before I could talk according to my Gogo (that’s my granny for non-South Africans).

I grew up watching my dad perform at various functions and soon joined him on the stage. When Covid hit, we were stuck at home with nothing much to do so I persuaded my dad to make some videos with me.

My dream is to one day attend The Royal College of Music and to that end I study classical voice under renowned vocal coach Eugenie Chopin as well as piano and music theory.

When I'm not working on music -related things, I enjoy competitive athletics, touch rugby (which I play at provincial level), photography and writing poetry and music.

 

The Rest of The Family

Everyone always asks about the rest of our family…

My mom, Kirsty, manages us, takes our bookings, updates the website, makes our videos and does most of the work behind the scenes. When she’s not working behind the scenes, you will find her with her nose in a book or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. 

My brother, Christopher, sometimes helps my mom. He is our biggest fan and is great at selling our CDs and merch at various events.

Chris is super clever and loves math, science and computer programming when he’s not out for a run or playing touch rugby with my dad! 


Our furry friends include my dogs, Rascal & Bruiser and my mom’s African Grey, Gulu and our cat, Snoops.
