BERNADETTE NOVEMBRE BIO
Born and bred in Melbourne, Australia Bernadette had an early start in music and began singing professionally at the age of only six. Touring with international artists from six to 12 years old, Bernadette is heavily influenced by French and Italian artists of the 1960's such as Françoise Hardy, Dalida and Mina.
In 2017 Bernadette began to entrench herself in the Melbourne music scene and started singing again and songwriting. This resulted in the release of a critically acclaimed Soul EP 'Rebounding' which was co-written and produced by Ryan Ritchie (True Live, The Raah Project). Radio stations across the country and internationally played Bernadette’s songs which translated into a loyal following around the world and her participation in numerous gigs and festivals. The first single off this EP, 'Everybody Knows' is soon to be featured in a new major series on Paramount + and Netflix called 'Futuro Desierto'.
Almost four years ago, Bernadette met the creative genius Joshua Moriarty (Telenova, Miami Horror, All The Colours) who agreed to co-write and produce Bernadette’s debut Album. Bernadette always knew that she wanted to make an Indie Rock album, having been inspired by her favourite 1960’s artists The Beatles, George Harrison, The Doors, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Animals, Janis Joplin, The Mamas and The Papas, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, The Beach Boys, Dusty Springfield and her modern-day idols the Arctic Monkeys, Saint Motel, Tempesst, Beach House, Lana del Rey, Florence and The Machine, The Vaccines, Babyshambles, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, PJ Harvey, Queens of The Stone Age, Chrissie Hynde and Alexandra Savior. A surrealist at heart, Bernadette’s new music has been described as ‘Avant-Indie Alt Rock on the dreamscape’ due to the dreamlike quality of her lyrics and melodies. With the new Album, Bernadette also aspires to create a polyptych in the form of four music videos to metaphorically paint the picture of the songs’ transcendent meanings. Her debut Album is expected to be released in 2026.
Bernadette has achieved so much in the eight years she has been back in the music scene. A highlight of Bernadette’s career thus far includes playing support to members of The Rolling Stones. The first single off Bernadette’s debut Album, 'Another View from Dystopia' debuted at #5 on the AMRAP Metro Charts in its very first week. The music video for this song and 'Into the Now' (unreleased song on the forthcoming Album) made it to the semi-final of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in March 2025.
