Jo Johnson

Jo Johnson is a British composer, musician, and sound artist whose work delicately blurs the boundaries between electronic minimalism, ambient soundscapes, and experimental music. Emerging from London’s vibrant underground scene, Johnson first garnered attention as a founding member of the post-punk band Huggy Bear before embarking on a solo journey characterized by hypnotic synth arpeggios, lush textures, and contemplative atmospheres. Her debut solo album, Weaving (released on Further Records in 2014), received widespread acclaim for its meditative and subtly emotional approach, solidifying her reputation as a distinctive voice within contemporary electronic music.

Johnson’s compositions often explore repetition, resonance, and the transformation of sonic materials, drawing inspiration from minimalism, drone, and classical forms. In addition to her solo releases, she has collaborated with a range of interdisciplinary artists and contributed to performances and sound installations in galleries and alternative spaces across Europe. With each project, Jo Johnson continues to expand the expressive potential of synthesizers, inviting listeners into intimate worlds built from sound and silence.
