Having first come to the fore as the sassy and beguiling front woman for platinum-selling band Fur Patrol at the turn of the century, the past decade has seen Julia Deans transition from iconic rock chick to glorious songbird.
Deans’ first solo album Modern Fables was released to critical acclaim in 2010, earning her a swag of nominations for several coveted musical accolades including the Taite Music Prize, the APRA Silver Scroll (for A New Dialogue) and Best Female Solo Artist and Best Pop Album at the NZ Music Awards.
Modern Fables debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 19 July 2010. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for six weeks with a highest position of #12. There are two albums by Julia Deans in the Top 40 Albums.
