Jojo’s journey into music began with an unwavering passion that has always been at the core of her life. Performing across Idaho, Montana, and Washington, she has steadily built a loyal fan base, one intimate performance at a time, attracting those who appreciate authenticity and depth in music.
In the summer of 2023, Jojo’s talent took center stage when she won Season 5 of "North Idaho’s Got Talent," a milestone that marked the beginning of her rise in the indie folk world.
Her sound is influenced by the timeless music of Fleetwood Mac, Carly Simon, and Brandi Carlile, yet Jojo’s voice remains distinctly her own. Her music invites listeners on a journey, whether they are reflecting on their own experiences or finding solace in someone else’s story.
Jojo is currently collaborating with respected industry figures, including acclaimed producer Jeffery David (Seal, Echosmith, Mat Kearney, For King & Country) and songwriters like Lolo (Panic! at the Disco), Sydney Sierota (lead singer of Echosmith), and Dan Wilson (Adele, Chris Stapleton). These collaborations showcase her commitment to honing her craft and evolving as an artist, while remaining true to her indie folk roots.
Her new single, “Every Step,” is set to drop on October 4, 2024. Written with Chuck Butler (Tauren Wells, Toby Mac) and Jeffery David, the track, which features some of LA’s finest musicians, is a feel-good, acoustic-driven song. "It’s the kind of song you just wanna drive along the coast playing over and over"
Jojo’s music is for those who crave stories that feel real and resonate deeply. She may be a new voice, but it’s one that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
