The daughter of white-Jamaican and white-Kenyan parents, Jo was brought up in the highlands of Scotland. She did a viola performance degree (Hons) at Birmingham Conservatoire after which she started writing and performing her own material. Joe
Broughton introduced Jo to Ashley and she did several sessions on viola and toured with the Albion Band as lead singer in Italy. Established in Birmingham for her song-writing, entrancing performances, and vocal ability, Jo has played with Damien Rice, Carina Round, Michelle Shocked, Boo Hewerdine, Glen Tilbrook, Black, The Blockheads…and others.
  Jo composes using Logic Audio and her new album “Gown” will be out in April 2007. So far it has been likened to Kate Bush and Enrico Morricone. Keep an eye out at www.johamilton.com for the release and gigs in 2007. Her favourite thing at the moment is Imogen Heap.
