Singer, songwriter JoJo Mac hails from the island Jamaica where she has been singing since the tender age of three years old. She migrated to the United States of America where she eventually decided to seriously pursue a singing career. She started her very own band and began performing in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia tri-state area at night clubs, concerts ,hotel lounges and other musical events. Her singing talents caught the attention of a gentleman whose only connection with the music was that he owned a sound system, whom after seeing her perform decided that he would create a record label just so he could record her. The name of the label was "Throb Music". Throb music released an album "Hard and Soft" that was produced by Duckie Simpson of the group Black Uhuru, who instigated the making of the album after he saw her in a performance at the DC Civic Center/Symbolic House Hall in Washington DC. She continued to perform on the hotel and night club scenes and still opening for major acts like Beenie Man, Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott, Shinehead and many more. She was the host of a cable television show in the Washington, DC area titled "Reggae on the Move". She had a column called "Issues of the Heart" in a Baltimore newspaper giving advice to lovers. That she said came easy because as a writer she is especially ballad-oriented, "in touch with love'.
