He attended St Andrew's Cathedral School, where he sang in the associated Cathedral Choir. He completed his Higher School Certificate in 1994. In the following year Hamilton was studying piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where he met Kim Moyes (studying classical percussion).〔〔(Kim of The Presets Interview | MVRemix Urban ).

Retrieved on 2011-08-30.〕 Hamilton on keyboards and Moyes on vibraphone joined an electronic band Prop, with Jeremy Barnett on marimbas, David Symes on bass guitar and Jared Underwood on drums. Prop released their debut album, ''Small Craft Rough Sea'', in 2001 on Undercover Music/Silent Recordings label. In October that year, Radio National's Brent Clough aired some of their tracks on his programme, ''Otherworlds'', and described their sound as "fusing jazz, classical, minimalist, funk and techno elements into a seamless whole" and noted their "remarkably diverse influences – with selections from Olivier Messiaen and Philip Glass to Sci-Fi soundtracks, Squarepusher and Al Green". ''Small Craft Rough Sea''s tracks were remixed by various artists and appeared as ''Cook Cut Damage Destroy'', in early 2003. The remix artists included Stereolab, Pnau, paulmac, Decoder Ring, Mice Parade, Telemetry Orchestra, Mako, Pivot and Burnt Friedman. Chris Johnston of ''The Age'' reviewed the remix album in March 2010, and felt its sound was "cerebral and faintly ridiculous jazz-fusion" which resulted in an album "where in wordless, warbly ... songs such as 'Low' they attempted to abridge the history of Western thought and Eastern composition into one mid-length instrumental". Hamilton and Moyes formed The Presets in 2003, to provide their own remix of one of Prop's track, "Magnetic Highway", as "Blood Bubbles" for ''Cook Cut Damage Destroy''.〔 Note: user may have to click on 'Credits' for further information.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Prop – Not Music by Accident )〕 Tammy La Gorce of AllMusic noted their version showed "harder electronic edges".〔 Moyes later recalled "Julian and I used to muck around after Prop rehearsals and play the stupidest music we could... This new style that we were experimenting with, we got computers eventually and started recording them and put a little demo together". As a member of The Presets, Hamilton has provided lead vocals, songwriting, keyboards, mixing, and producing for their releases including three studio albums, ''Beams'' (September 2005), ''Apocalypso'' (April 2008), and ''Pacifica'' (September 2012).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Julian Hamilton Credits )〕 Hamilton has worked as a session and touring musician, and co-songwriter, for Silverchair (2001–2003); and, with Moyes, as touring and session musicians for The Dissociatives (2004).〔 Hamilton worked with The Sleepy Jackson to record their 2006 album, ''Personality - One Was a Spider, One Was a Bird''. He is credited for orchestral arrangements and additional production, and also played keyboard and synth on many of the songs.〔 Hamilton co-wrote four tracks with Daniel Johns on the 2007 Silverchair album, ''Young Modern'', including the singles "Straight Lines" and "Mind Reader".〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 'Straight Lines' at APRA search engine ) Note: User may have to click 'Search again' and provide details at 'Enter a title:' e.g Straight Lines; or at 'Performer:' Silverchair〕 Hamilton also co-wrote the song "On My Own" for Bluejuice's 2011 album ''Company''.〔() Abc.net.au (2011-05-10).
