Brisbane’s latest sweet, melodic electro-pop has enough depth in the music and lyrics to fill a stadium; but the reality is that it’s all coming from the hands, instruments and brainwaves of resident Jeremy Parker, making exciting, heartfelt songs in Hello! Beautiful. After a lifetime immersed listening to incredible artists & bands like Owl City, Coldplay, The Ready Set & many, many others, it was time for Jeremy to discover his own talents. Completely solo, he practiced day-in and night-out until he created a sound that was of his own, but with a strong nod towards the influences and sounds he loved; the result became the music of Hello! Beautiful. Much more than glitzy electro-pop, the genuinely beautiful atmospheres and emotional textures in the music, lyrics and vocals show the true heart of a confident artist ready to seize his moment in the spotlight and take every listener in the room with him. What started with the writing of the debut & self-titled EP release of Hello!

Dave Colman first began performing original material under the pseudonym Hello Beautiful in 2003, the first shows with Liz Thomas (Border Thieves) on bass. During that time, the name appeared alongside a broad and often unpredictable range of live acts on the Sydney circuit. It was during this busy solo stint that Dave laid the foundations for the band to come. In early 2004, Dave was joined by guitarist and long-standing friend Daniel Stewart (also of In Retrospect), whose knack for feel, harmony and texture perfectly complimented Dave's vision for the existing songs. The rest of the year was spent writing, arranging and performing new material that would later form the initial repertoire for the full band line-up. Keyboardist Jakov Novosel joined the duo to form a trio in 2005, with a hand-crafted palette of atmospheric sounds, to feature in the full band line-up before his departure in 2007. Beck Clarke, a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, came onboard in 2006.
