Jules's performing career started at the age of seven when he sang as a chorister with the Winchester Cathedral Choir. For the next six years he toured the world, performing in prestigious venues such as Sydney's Opera House, The Royal Festival Hall, and St Thomas's Cathedral in New York, and had appeared as a soloist on the 7 critically acclaimed albums the choir made before he turned thirteen. Jules moved on to Eastbourne College on a choral scholarship. At Eastbourne he focused on music and acting and played the lead roles in several productions. At the age of eighteen, Jules won a scholarship to Wells Cathedral, where he sang for part of his GAP year, and then on to St Andrews University. There he completed an MA in Art History, and performed in several plays and musicals. 

Jules went on to study at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and left Central in 2007, having specialised in Acting for Screen (MA).

He worked in the Houses of Parliament for an MP, in a PR company, a Headhunting company, ripped tickets in the Piccadilly theatre, picked up litter at the Wimbledon tennis tournament and handed out flyers for a bar in Covent Garden, in between training and auditions. To help pay the rent, Jules helped put a singing group together. Two days after the group met for the first time to rehearse he found himself being offered a £1 million pound record deal by Universal Music, only 6 months after leaving drama school. He went on to make four chart topping albums with Blake, the debut album winning 'Album of the Year' at the Classical Brits in 2008 and going 'Gold' in under three weeks.

Blake had extraordinary successes both with their albums and live touring across the world, in territories as far flung as the Philippines, South Africa, Australia, China, Russia, Scandinavia, and Japan, and were regulars at such venues as the Albert Hall, the Olympic stadium, Twickenham and Wembley. 

Jules went on to star in BBC One's medical drama 'Holby City'  leading some gripping storylines. After two years, Jules left Holby and recorded his debut solo album with chart topping Producer Andrew Powell (Wuthering Heights) and Film and TV boss, Adrian Munsey. The album, 'Change of Heart' was recorded at Peter Gabriel's state of the art studio, 'Real World’.
