Jo Rotunno

Jo studied music and vocals in the renowned cities of Barcelona and Rome throughout her twenties.
During this time she performed in some of the best clubs and venues around Europe with several bands including a Ska orchestra and her Soul band “The Regroovers” with whom she toured Italy.

In 2010 Jo moved to the UK to deepen her studies in contemporary music and Jazz and soon started performing with some of the best musicians on the Southern scene.
In 2013 she performed at London’s award winning club Hideaway and in 2018 her Soul band played the renowned Brighton Jazz club The Verdict, which hosts great nights with artists from around the world.

Jo’s vocals can deliver groovy Soul, Motown and R&B classics as well as ageless Jazz, Swing and Latin numbers (sang in Spanish and Portuguese) and modern Pop and Dance hits.

Jo performs for intimate crowds as well as big events such as corporates, festivals and parties, with a line up that varies from solo to a 13-pieces band.

When not performing around the UK or overseas, you can find her in the studio working on some thrilling original project or vocal session.

Jo is a solo performer duo or you can book Jo and her band

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you again to Jo for an amazing set last night. She really made the party and was absolutely incredible, I’m so glad we were able to book her! Jo, thank you again, you were truly stunning and so many guests said afterwards how much they loved it and that you made the party, thank you!”

“We were very pleased with Jo’s performance at our event in London City Hall in September this year. She was professional, talented and punctual and we received many compliments on our choice of live music from our guests during the course of the evening. I would recommend Jo to other businesses looking to create a sophisticated, yet fun atmosphere at their events.”
– ABP Corporation

 

“Having Jo sing on our special day was a pleasure. Everyone commented on how good the entertainment was. Highly recommended!”
– Ashley and Hanna

 

“We really enjoyed Jo’s performance – it was amazing. Everybody enjoyed it immensely. Time passed very quickly and Jo contributed hugely to a successful party!
Jo comes across somehow understated but the power of her music talks loudly!
We can recommend Jo whole-heartily and would love to see her back when we have a similar occasion ourselves at some point in the future”
