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 is also the name of her band.
Career
Born in Yorkshire,[2] Scott grew up in rural north-east Scotland; she first played in a band as a teenager alongside her twin brother, becoming involved in Aberdeen's music scene.[3] In 1999[4] or 2000,[5] at the age of eighteen, she moved to Glasgow to study music, also developing her skills via open mic nights at the Glasgow bar Nice 'n' Sleazy's,[5] the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and The Old Blind Dogs, a folk band.[4]
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.[6][3][7] At this time, Scott named key influences as 'Emiliana Torrini, Stina Nordestam, Bright Eyes, Ben Folds, Bjork, Kate Rusby, quirky indie acoustica'.[8][9] Other collaborations in the years around 2010 included work with Teenage Fanclub and Admiral Fallow.[4]
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".[10][11]
In 2012, Scott completed a PhD in musicology,[3][7] with the thesis "Experiments in schizoanalysis: a new approach to analysis of conceptual music".[12] By 2015, she had become a lecturer in commercial music at the University of the West of Scotland.[13] She has also taught at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.[14]
In the years around 2000, she was undertaking creative work relating to prisoners' rehabilitation, leading to her EP System Hold,[15]: 5 [16]: 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'.[17] 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]
