His first live experience came in 1990, performing at York University with rock band Otis Elevation. He then met pianist Alex Wilson (now a major force in Latin Jazz) with whom he played in an Afro-Jazz band. Jules' studies were in French and Linguistics.

Coming to London in 1995, he joined jazz/fusion band Bassism (Max de Wardener - bass, Leo Taylor - drums). In 1996 he performed at Ronnie Scott's and the Jazz Cafe with soul singer Shiji (Chris Jerome - keys, Robert Fordjour - drums)

From 1995-97 Jules formed a duo with singer/ saxophone player Steve Trowell (they met at York Uni), performing a combination of jazz standards and soul/ motown hits.

In 1998-99 Jules took a break from the music scene, continuing his linguistic studies. As a result of living in Paris in this year and also having previously lived in Rennes in 1992, he reached a comfortable level of fluency in French.

In 2000, the Sahara Jazz Quartet was formed. Rob Lavers - saxophone, Robin Banerjee - guitar, Jamie Trowell - drums and Jules on bass guitar. They toured for two and a half years on the Live Music Now scheme (founded by Yehudi Mehuhin), also performing with singers Natalie Williams, Heidi Vogel and Rachel Calladine, and saxophonist Dave O'Higgins.

In 2002 the quartet was joined by Canadian pianist Dave Lieffertz, and they recorded original jazz and soul influenced tracks, produced by drummer Andy Gangadeen (The Bays).

Jules has been playing with Zimbabwean singer Netsayi since 2001, including performances at Hammersmith Apollo, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room, supporting acts such as Omar, Johnny Clegg and Hugh Masekela. They've appeared several times on BBC radio, notably on Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Ras Kwame's Radio 1 show and Radio 3's World Routes. In 2007 they toured internationally including venues in Johannesburg, Dakar, Zanzibar, Stockholm and Amsterdam.

In 2004 Jules was asked to join soul-funk band Bassistry. Containing some of the best session players in London, the band, led by bassist Marcel Pusey, recorded the album "In Time" in the same year.

Also in 2004, Jules formed a musical partnership with tabla/harmonium player Sulekh Ruparell. "Nirakar" blends the sounds of Indian classical music, jazz and Spanish guitar. Their main collaborator on live concerts has been talented multi-instrumentalist Ross Hughes.

In 2005 Marimba player Kudaushe Matimba and drummer Kenny Chitsvatsva, both members of the legendary Zimbabwean group The Bhundu Boys, formed a new group called Harare. They enrolled Jules on bass and Laurence Corns on guitar. They headlined on the Africa stage of London's Rise Festival in 2007 and performed at the Territorios festival in Sevilla in 2008.

In 2006 Jules was employed as Musical Director for a live broadcast on Radio 1XTRA. Arranging the music of five British R&B artists to be played by violin, cello, drums and guitar, the programme was introduced by Ras Kwame, who also interviewed Jules about his process of putting the music and the band together. The players were Leo Taylor (drums), Jenny Adejayan (cello) and Samy Bishai (violin).

Jules has also performed over the past few years in impromptu duos and trios with musicians such as guitarist Nicolas Meier, keyboard player Terry Collie,  bassist Alex Keen, singer Marcina Arnold and saxophonists Tony Kofi and Dimitrios Vassilakis.
