Bachelor Girl

Tania Doko and James Roche have spent more than 25 years establishing Bachelor Girl as one of Australia's most enduring pop acts. Their double platinum debut album, Waiting for the Day (1999), earned the ARIA Award for Producer of the Year and launched Buses and Trains, which won APRA Song of the Year, is recognised among Australia's 100 Greatest Songs, and remains one of the country's most-played compositions. The album's success led to a signing with Clive Davis' Arista Records in the United States and releases throughout Europe and Asia, while Tania's unmistakable voice earned her a place in Triple M's Top 300 Greatest Singers of All Time. Waiting for the Day also produced Treat Me Good, Lucky Me and Permission to Shine, while sophomore album Dysfunctional (2001) featured I'm Just A Girl. Following songwriting careers in Sweden and the UK, Tania and James reunited in 2018 and returned in 2023 with Calling Out Your Name, earning Spotify editorial support. Bachelor Girl have shared stages with Eurythmics, The Goo Goo Dolls, Simple Minds and The Corrs, and appeared at A Day on the Green and the Red Hot Summer Tour. In 2026, Bachelor Girl begin a new chapter with Waiting for the Day: Artist Sessions—a reimagining of the album featuring Delta Goodrem, Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Darren Hayes, Tommy Emmanuel, Ella Hooper, Kaylee Bell and more. Accompanied by a tour, the project celebrates the songs that defined a generation and a catalogue that continues to resonate.
