Johanna's Debut Jazz Album
Donation protected
I'm recording my first JAZZ ALBUM!
I've been singing and performing all my life but this is going to be my first solo record. I'm so excited - and I want my friends to share the experience with me! My Crowdfunding appeal will cover the costs of acquiring music rights, rehearsal and recording, production of the album, a free CD for all my supporters, and launch concerts in London, Blackpool and possibly Berlin (my Dad lives there).
My great Team: l-r Danny, Kevin, Jo & Matheson
From Minor to Major...
I've started work already with three great professionals. Kevin Porée, my Producer, has worked with artists as diverse as Clare Teal, James Brown, Radiohead and Squeeze and record companies including Universal Music, Sony BMG and EMI. Kevin is an old mate from the University of Kent at Canterbury.
My pianist and orchestrator is Matheson Bayley, an award-winnig lyricist and composer, whose clients range from the BBC and Tim Burton, to The Mantovani Orchestra and Sony PlayStation.
Our recording engineer, Danny Monk, is a graduate of the The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts

The Space Vixens - 'to live and die by the power of disco'. Here I am with Chloe Fidler and Emma Choy at The Albany Theatre, on the London Fringe, in 2003
Saucy Jack & The Space Vixens
A musical written, composed and produced by fellow students - myself included - at the University of Kent launched me into my stage career. I had a leading role in 'Saucy Jack & The Space Vixens' which won a 'Fringe First' award at the Edinburgh Festival before we took it to London's West End. It is now performed by amateur and professional theatre groups worldwide and has a devoted following of amazing fans who love the show.
My Career on the Stage
In recent years, as well as in the UK, I've acted and sung in productions in the USA, France, Switzerland, and Spain - a highlight was singing a Janis Joplin number to 4,000 people at an international convention!
My most rewarding experiences have included performing with Cardboard Citizens Theatre Company, improvising pieces with inmates at H.M. Prisons Pentonville, Wandsworth and Holloway - where I got to sing 'I Will Survive' with a prisoner and a prison officer as my backing singers.
