BIO Born on the island of Java, Jojo Draven began her musical career by playing in several local rock bands as a keyboardist and sometimes vocalist. Tired of her classical piano training, she looked to the best local guitarist to teach her how to play the guitar. Soon after, she co-founded and began touring nationally with a local all-female band as the lead guitarist and the main songwriter. After the band's quick success with its debut album and constant tv and radio airplay, she relocated to Los Angeles and studied at the world-renowned Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. She then sought out and became a protege of one of her favorite guitarists, Alex Skolnick of the legendary thrash band Testament. She joined several Los Angeles-based internationally-acclaimed rock bands, toured the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia, and along the way won three Los Angeles awards as the best female guitarist. She has been featured in numerous prestigious publications: Cosmopolitan magazine, Guitar World, national and international newspapers, and UK's Horror Asylum. As she briefly diverged from her usual rock&roll performances during one of her bands' hiatus to work in film production, she received her first scoring break when offered to write music for the film "Hell Asylum". Her credits since include David DeCoteau's "Ring of Darkness" and the currently on Canadian TV "Witches of the Caribbean". Her latest accomplishment is the motif-driven score for the award-winning supernatural thriller "Ghost Month", slated for a release July 2009, and "The Invisible Chronicles" now playing on here!TV channel. back to main
