Even though playing existing music was how he started out, it soon became clear he wanted to create his own music. Music that is boundless and allowed him to express himself freely. Not having to adhere to rules and structure fascinated him most. While music can be strongly based in theory, Jo always trusted his instincts and strong sense for a certain sound aesthetic to craft something unique and timeless.
Music is his sacred space and his companion in difficult times. When life gets tough, music is always there for him and gives him a tool to channel his emotions and create pieces that in essence are snapshots of his momentary emotional states.
Jo has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry that helped him amplify his vision and paint musical pictures in the brightest colors imaginable.
He worked with leading Motion Picture Advertising companies in Los Angeles, scored short films, documentaries, feature films, and provided the signature theme music for New Zealand’s greatest show event in Wellington "World Of Wearable Art". One of his dreams came true when he was commissioned to write original music for various projects at the helm of Lord Of The Rings-creators, Richard Taylor and Peter Jackson.
Jo's compositions have been featured in some of the biggest motion picture advertising campaigns in the world such as The House With A Clock In Its Walls, Colette, Wonder Woman, Jupiter Ascending, 300 - Rise Of An Empire, Beauty And The Beast, How To Train Your Dragon, The Hunger Games, Assassin's Creed, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, The Wolfman, Lincoln, X-Men First Class and many more.
What Jo loves most about his vocation is the impact his music has on the lives of those who listen to it. Receiving feedback from filmmakers and fans of his music adds fuel to his fire and motivates him to excel at his craft every day.

We both share the same mission: to help to reconnect with the magic of life through art. I hope someday we can do something together! My best wishes, Walt Forest :)

Few days ego, while studying at the library, I took my phone to search for some instrumental music, anything that maybe could help me to keep concentrated... and I found this! It is far away from the music I usually listen to, but I must say this song, Leaving Lemuria, it is not just music, this is magic! It can touch your soul. Those days I've been listening to more of your creations and I love it! Congratulations! You do an amazing job and...sorry for my english! 😉 Kisses from Spain.

I love your music. But this is your most beautiful piece in my opinion, especially that last part. I actually teared up when that beautiful choir and cellos started to play that absolutely perfect melody. Wonderful.
I'm a musician myself and I still need to learn how to orchestrate properly. Maybe one Day my sounds will be as wonderful as yours.
Please never stop composing music.
❤
