Jo Mango is the stage name of a British alternative folk and acoustic singer and songwriter from Glasgow, otherwise known as Jo Collinson Scott, a lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland.[1] Jo Mango has also been the name of her band.
Career
Born in Yorkshire,[2] Scott grew up in rural north-east Scotland.[3] As a teenager she became involved in Aberdeen's music scene; her first band was called The Mangomen and included her twin brother.[4][3] In 1999[5] or 2000,[6] at the age of eighteen, she moved to Glasgow to study music and psychology, aiming to become a music therapist.[5][6][7] There she also developed her skills via open mic nights at the Glasgow bar Nice 'n' Sleazy's,[6] and by playing in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and a folk band named The Old Blind Dogs.[5]
Scott's first album, Paperclips and Sand, emerged in 2006.[6][8] 2006–7 saw Scott touring internationally as a member of Vashti Bunyan's band, and in the UK on the Zero Degrees of Separation tour alongside Bunyan, David Byrne, Adem, Juana Molina, and Vetiver.[9][3][10] At this time, Scott named key influences as 'Emiliana Torrini, Stina Nordestam, Bright Eyes, Ben Folds, Bjork, Kate Rusby, quirky indie acoustica'.[8][11] Other collaborations in the years around 2010 included work with Teenage Fanclub and Admiral Fallow.[5]
The Scotland Herald described Scott's 2013 EP When We Lived in The Crook of a Tree as "[a voice] so hushed and precise, that it sounds as if it were recorded inside your own head".[12][13]
In 2012, Scott completed a PhD in musicology,[3][10] with the thesis "Experiments in schizoanalysis: a new approach to analysis of conceptual music".[14] By 2015, she had become a lecturer in commercial music at the University of the West of Scotland.[15] She has also taught at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.[16]
In the mid-2010s, Scott's work focused on promoting ecological sustainability in music festivals,[17] leading to her EP Wrack Lines,[18][19] and a project called When Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday.[20]
In the years around 2020, Scott was undertaking creative work relating to prisoners' rehabilitation, leading to her EP System Hold,[21][22]: 5 [23]: 9 characterised in The Scotsman as 'featherlight piano balladry with subtle electronic beats' providing 'a chill-out meditation on themes of incarceration, monitoring and suspension of liberty'.[24] The work also involved Scott in a music festival called Distant Voices highlighting the music of people who had experienced the criminal justice system, and her composition of a multimedia piece named A Giant on the Bridge.[2]
