About Me

Hey everyone,Thanks for stopping by and checkin' the Jo*Po MySpace Profile! Jo*Po is a singer, songwriter, drummer, guitarist, bassist and piano player from Sudbury, ON, Canada. She started her music career over 12 years ago as a drummer/back-up singer in many different 'Rock' bands. As much as she enjoys & continues hitting those skins, Jo*Po has decided to come out from behind her drum kit to share her voice and guitar playing with the world. Her style of music is Rock with Soul, she plays electric & acoustic guitar while singing and people associate Jo*Po’s voice with Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson. Jo*Po's acoustic live show consists of her original music as well as some covers ie: Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, L7 etc... The Past: Jo*Po started out as a drummer in a chick rock band called S.O.T, then played drums in a cover rock band with some of her good friends for a couple of years. Then she played in an original Rock Band with 4 guys called Nickelbender (which was before Nickelback and from the real nickel city Sudbury...lol) for about 4-5 years. Jo*Po eventually moved on to play drums, sing back-up, played a little bass & guitar in a three piece band called Daisy Ella MoJo Crew for 3 years in which they were very successful.After moving from city to city Jo*Po decided to move back home from being gone so long and started up a male/female duo band called The Forcefulls with PJ Larabie AKA- The loudest male/female duo band in Canada! (her favorite band yet! - they play Heavy-Rock-Metal with Soul) they play all instruments and switch them around throughout their sets. The Forcefulls continue to play shows throughout Northern and Southern Ontario, and are currently in the studio recording their new heavy CD to be released within' the next few months.
