Bio
Jo's artistry is sleek Pop-Soul-R&B, evoking Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Celine Dion and Leona Lewis.
As a child, Jo displayed rugged flamboyance, turning every public opportunity into a chance to flaunt her powerful singing and performing skills. Parallel to this outward display of creativity her unbridled expressiveness confounded her parents. "I have always been loud, to the point that my father would as a joke regularly serve a bowl of painkillers to visitors. Although it stopped being funny to me, he always got a laugh," she recalls. This confused suppression of her gifts would impact Jo deeply. Though she impressed her music teacher so much that she netted a key role in the school cabaret, it would be years before she could liberate her musicality from the negative messaging imprisoning it.
"You can push aside your passions and dreams, but eventually they will scream out to you, and you just have to do what you were meant to do," Jo Cooper
In 2009, Jo stepped out and within two years she started writing the current batch of silken and mesmerizing soul-pop she is now releasing. Most recently Jo has secured the end title sequence for upcoming films and is currently working on the first of these to be released through UK/ Australian based film company Attractive films.
It's a new era for Jo Cooper as she is currently building her live profile, releasing her debut single ‘Stupid Boy’ and electrifying audiences with her natural theatricality and honest sensual charms.
"You cannot help but fall in love with Jo, one of those personalities that makes you smile when she's around. So when Jo asked me if I would work with her on her debut music clip for "Stupid Boy" I didn't think twice and after listening to the track I absolutely loved it. Jo's voice is beautiful and full of energy and her talent is only that of a star in the making". - Carmelo Pizzino (Dancing With The Stars Australia)
