JOANNA'S ARTIST TO COACH JOURNEY
Signing with Madonna & Touring the US & UK
First a session singer in London, then moved to LA, and in 1998 secured a record deal with Madonna's label, at Warner, and a publishing deal with Warner Chappell. I worked alongside Alanis Morissette and rock band Muse. I also toured America and did radio and TV in the UK sharing the bill with some legendary artists including DJ Tiesto, Seal and Daft Punk.
Modelling and Music Promotion
As part of my promotional tour, I was asked to model and interview for many music magazines, as well as for Vogue and Cosmopolitan. I got to tell my story of how I went from a girl who worked in a factory in England to being a signed artist in Hollywood!
Movie Song Placements
I've had the pleasure of having my songs placed in commercials, in movies and in the theater.
Progression to Vocal Coaching
While the experience of becoming a signed artist was an incredible one, I never truly had the desire (necessary) to be on stage front and center for the rest of my career.
I found I couldn't leave singing and songwriting, and collaborated in studios with other artists, helping established and up-and-coming artists fulfill THEIR potential.
So I made the switch! And now I work private sessions, classes, or on-set, to help artists who want more power, agility and authenticity in their writing and performances.
And I love it!
