Polkadot+Moonbeam

About

Polkadot + Moonbeam is a pocket-sized jazz duo that brings a romantic twist to the unassuming ukulele, adding a swinging bass, two voices in sweet harmony and the occasional melodica. Named after Frank Sinatra's first hit song with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1940, Polkadot + Moonbeam performs a repertoire of jazz and evergreen classics, from luscious ballads to lively swing numbers and Latin grooves. They seek to share their hearts through their music, always with a touch of nostalgia and a lot of love.

In 2010, award-winning Singaporean singer-songwriter Juliet Pang had been active for over 10 years both as a recording artist and in musical theatre. Sydneysider Didi Mudigdo had just returned from a four-year music adventure performing in Japan, China and Southeast Asia with fellow wandering musicians from Australia, USA, Europe and Brazil. Discovering their unique musical synergy when they first met in Sydney that year, Juliet and Didi formed Polkadot + Moonbeam. They have since performed acclaimed shows at jazz venues and festivals in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Mainland China and Singapore.
