Meet Tim and Josie
The Heart and Soul of Duke Music
Duke Music is led by partners in life and music – Tim Wilson and Josephine Ison.
Together, Tim and Josie bring not just talent and experience, but genuine warmth and care for every couple and client they work with.
Josephine Ison is the band’s lead singer, known for her soulful vocals, big smile, and natural way of connecting with audiences. Whether she’s singing an emotional ballad during a wedding ceremony, or firing up the dance floor with crowd favourites, Josie’s voice leaves a lasting impression. Josie grew up surrounded by music, inspired by powerhouse singers like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Stevie Nicks. She loves nothing more than seeing people laughing, dancing, and singing along to the music she performs.
Tim Wilson is Duke’s guitarist, vocalist, and musical director. Tim is the calm force behind the scenes, working with clients to plan every detail of the music for their event. He’s passionate about delivering high-quality live music and making the whole experience easy and stress-free for clients. Tim has been performing professionally for over 15 years and has worked alongside many of Australia’s top musicians. He loves arranging songs in new ways and building unique setlists that fit the mood of every moment.
Together, Tim and Josie lead a team of incredible musicians and DJs who share the same dedication to live music and unforgettable events.
