Bio
Boo Ya....
illi Jo is a unique performer in a blended reggae rock hip hop style. Totally unique and totally pop, illi rocks a hooky bounce style of music that leave you uplifted and charged. With no topic taboo, illi's lyrics range from contemplative discussions of self and society to plain old bar bouncing fun. Living on Vancouver island illi rocks the longboard, Kung fu, and a Zen/Rasta inspired love of nature to produce his honest and down to earth musical style. Totally west coast, illi Jo performs with a acoustic guitar solo, and backed by home grown beats.
Inspired by the overall style of artists like Damien Marley and K'naan, illi Jo blends reggae hip hop beats with a lyrical style and content similar to Marley, K'naan and artist such as Pearl Jam, Jason Mras, Peter Tosh, and Kanye West.
illi's side project "illi vs bearclaw", which included classical guitar player Eric Bearclaw. Blends illi's writing style and beats with a Eric's unique style of playing to produce and worldly and danceable style of music that is truly unique and unforgettable, aka... You'll dig it.
