Talented and driven jazz artist Giuliette Price has officially joined On The Bill (OTB) as a verified artist, furthering an already flourishing career. While completing her studies at UCT’s South African College of Music, Giuliette has been steadily building her presence in Cape Town’s jazz scene, and this partnership marks an exciting next step. With years of performances and experience behind her, she’s eager to continue growing and solidifying her position as a sought-after musician.
Reflecting on her journey, Giuliette says, “Since moving to Cape Town, I’ve been focusing on my studies, but I’ve also been working hard to establish myself as a performing artist. This partnership with On The Bill means I can secure more regular gigs and continue to build on what I’ve already achieved. It’s helping make my dreams come true.” Giuliette looks forward to immersing herself further in her music, expanding her audienceand making an even stronger impact on Cape Town’s vibrant music scene.
Having studied jazz for six years, Giuliette’s sound is deeply rooted in the genre. “When you’ve been doing something for so long, it becomes second nature,” she explains, noting how jazz influences everything she writes. However, as her career evolves, Giuliette is eager to explore other genres. “I’d love to do some pop songs, some R&B, and perhaps even some soul. But I’d still love to do a proper jazz standards album.” She highlights her desire for versatility: “I’d love to tap into as many genres, areas, sounds and textures as possible. I not only see it as a way to solidify my professionalism in the industry but also as a way to showcase my abilities and strengths as a musician.”
Her debut EP, RATHER LIE, reflects her evolving sound, with each track representing different stages of her journey. “I recorded this EP while I was still learning about my voice,” she shares. From the catchy, flirtatious “after 8pm,” to the deeply personal “see you again” and fan-favourite “Gabby,” each song tells a story drawn from her life. Whether reflecting on past relationships or celebrating her passion for jazz, her songwriting is a testament to her ability to blend storytelling with soulful music.
Looking ahead, Giuliette is excited about the possibilities, including collaborations with fellow artists. “I’m currently working on a project with Khaya Mthembu-Salter, and I’d love to record a standards EP with him,” she shares. As she continues to gain momentum, her partnership with On The Bill will help secure more regular gigs and further enhance her reach. With a strong foundation in jazz and a growing repertoire that spans multiple genres, Giuliette is poised for success. Her blend of raw talent, heartfelt songwriting and love for collaboration ensures she will captivate audiences for years to come.
