No one could ever confuse Jo
with a shrinking violet. "Loud, full-on and a bit over-the-top, that's what people usually say about me," roars Jo.
Jo's big break came thanks
to a karaoke machine. "I was 12 and someone pushed me up to sing 'The Locomotion.' Afterwards my dad said, 'Hey, you're quite good.' And that was it. I loved the applause and the attention,
so I kept going up and singing!" By the time someone finally pulled the plug out of the back of the karaoke machine, Jo was already planning her next performance.
From karaoke sessions in her
hometown of Romford, England, it didn't take long before Jo was performing in clubs up and down the country, doing the odd singing spot on TV and even having a Top 40 hit with a band in Germany!
In between her singing stints, Jo juggled
school and a few part-time jobs including waitressing and helping out at a pet store
