  • About

    Yokittyjo’s chilled, emotional music combines the vintage electronica of the masterful Portishead, with the flushed emotion of Bat for Lashes and the lyrical poignancy of Lana del Ray, a perfect combination of strength and soul food. As something of a sonic chameleon, Yokittyjo has moved from a background filled with opera and choral music, through a career as dance VJ pioneer ‘Jmg13’, to making 21st century sounds that are brought to life by technology and inspired by colourful experience. Influences as diverse as Tom Middleton, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie and early dub step have resulted in ‘Glassandra’ and ‘Don't Know Why,’ two independently released tracks that contain a winning combination of lightness, life and bass. As well as a blossoming singer, Yokittyjo is a multitalented artist, working on collaborations with international producers, throwing herself into online outlets as a medium for performance, and developing other projects, such as musical catalogue for film and TV sync. If you haven’t yet experienced the emotive sounds of Yokittyjo, it’s about time you got on board. jo@yokittyjo.com
