Biography

In 1992, Tania Doko & James Roche formed BACHELOR GIRL & the duo became one of the most loved Australian acts of the 90’s & early 2000’s, enjoying Australian & international success in Asia, Scandinavia and the U.S. Standing out with their exceptional songwriting & Tania’s warm, powerful vocal, both PPCA & APRA have reported a massive achievement for the band - their hit single “Buses and Trains” was the most played Australian composition on Australian radio in its first year of release & during the last 25 years overall. In 1999, ‘Buses and Trains’ also received the coveted APRA ‘Song of the Year’ award, while the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Waiting for the Day’ spawned five chart topping singles (including ‘Treat Me Good’ & ‘Permission To Shine’), reached 2x platinum certification & an ARIA win to the duo for ‘Producer of the Year’. After a brief hiatus to pursue their individual musical paths as writers and producers for outside artists in Sweden & the U.K, Tania & James reunited to release their socially conscious single ‘Speak’, in 2018. With their hit-studded & dynamic live set, Bachelor Girl have secured impressive support slots including Eurythmics and The Goo Goo Dolls. More recently, the band has special guested on popular festival gigs such as Day on the Green, the Red Hot Summer tour, and can also add Icehouse to the list of iconic acts they have toured with. BG are set to unleash an exciting, thought provoking single ‘Calling Out Your Name’ in early 2023.
