JoJo Burgess – The Man, The Myth, The Spare Times

Born on a cold winters night, somewhere in the west of England, 5months after the biggest rock n’ roll concert the planet has ever seen. JoJo Burgess took the time to jump ship of the womb and kick and scream his way into existence, with of course the ample assistance of his mother, who kept him warm and watered for a long nine months and then the subsequent 18 years to follow.
 

In The Beginning

JoJo’s first musical experiences came at around three years old, whereby he and a childhood friend decided to turn the usually mundane metallic structure of a climbing frame into the stage for one of the greatest air guitar ensembles to grace the East Midlands in many a long year. It was said that the those licks could be heard as far  as two gardens away…..

The Voice

JoJo’s first venture into the world of the voice and the hidden depths of this orfice were at school. JoJo had always been an inquisitive little fellow, so decided to join the school choir more for the girls (which he had always kept an open eye on, even at age than the singing. JoJo quickly got projected from the school choir to the school drama society (more for the fact of his sex, than any dreams of being an actor). It was through this Drama Society that JoJo got his first experience of being on the stage as a weasel in The Wind in The Willows Musical. JoJo’s pining for the stage was certainly to grow from here, and saw him take lead roles in further school productions and also further down the road as an adult JoJo has been known to tread the boards in some very well received shows at the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
