Hi my name is JoJo Smith. I am a musician / singer /songwriter.
In September I will be recording my fourth CD titled “Standing In The Love Light”.
A song I have written dedicated to all the great singers and musicians I have worked with throughout my musical career.
The estimated cost of this project is $9,500. I have some funds put aside for the recording and I now need to raise some extra dollars to bring it all to the finishing line. Hence my campaign through Pozible . Any contribution from you will make the world of difference to this project. You will be rewarded for your kindness and generosity and I will be ever grateful to you for helping me bring this dream to fruition.
Here is a break down of costs:
·CD Art Work $600
·Studio Time $2.500
·Cd booklet / Pressing $2.400
·Musicians Fees $2,000
·Marketing / publicity $1000
·Travel / accommodation $1000
I will be recording the CD at “Tone Ranger Studio” in Northern New South Wales. Recording date set for September 16th. I'm looking forward to recording a new bunch of original tunes. This being one of them.
I was inspired to write this song after overhearing two adults in conversation.
“20 Hail Mary’s” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9u-c4xk5u4
This next song is all about life, groove and a strong bass line.
I have always wanted to record this with a band and that’s going to happen
“This is all There Is”.

"A Little 'Herstory"
I was born in Dunedin, New Zealand into a musical house hold and a musical environment. I was encouraged to listen to and play music from an early age. Voice was my first instrument and I started playing ukelele at primary school and moved onto guitar when I was 11 years old. I began playing drums and singing in bands when I was 14 years old. Knowing that music was always going to be at the forefront of my life, I moved to Australia in 1975 to further my career and broaden my horizons. Big move and no regrets.
Since then, I have worked as a solo performer. Played drums and sung in various bands. Toured, done session work for radio and TV commercials. Sung backing vocals on albums worked with touring acts as backing vocalist / percussionist. Taught voice and drums, facilitated singing workshops, written songs and recorded my own CD's. And there will be many great musical times to look forward to up ahead.
CD's recorded :
With "Hip Pocket" band in the 80's
"Hip Pocket"
“Crack That Smile”
“Get Loved”
and three solo cd’s
“Miss Del Ray” 96,
“Million Dollar View” 2001
“JoJo Smith Live @ The Blue Birdy” 2008
I have been on this musical journey for many years and what an amazing journey it has been.
"Standing in the Love light" is a BIG warm thanks to all the great musicians and singers I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my musical career. To say thank you for sharing your heart, musicianship, inspiration, spirit, encouragement, time, love and support. I am truly blessed.
This is a clip from the Blue Birdy launch in Melbourne. An awesome band.
