Singer/songwriter as part of duo "Kingsville"
Gifted pianist/songwriter/singer Rebecca Harris Mason and Juliarna have been collaborating on musical projects since they met on the first day of uni in the mid-90s. Although other musical pursuits are their bread and butter, they will always find time for the occasional original gig. Here's a medley of the type of songs they write.
