Hearing Joanna Borromeo's music for the first time is similar to approaching an ice berg in the deep oceans of the Arctic. One immediately recognizes how beautifully crafted and organic her songs are, with her powerful voice illuminating out like a sunrise. Beneath the surface is the work of a skilled and expressive artist; the threads and pieces of her lush productions that listeners eventually only discover after several rotations through the album. Realizing the music has all been written by Joanna Borromeo alone, one can be inspired by the scope of her numerous ways of communicating the music of her soul through voice, keyboard playing, songwriting and producing. She began as a Classical pianist in her childhood, eventually moving on to jazz in her late teens. In her early twenties, Joanna started her professional music career as a successful freelancer, working with everyone from R&B artist Divine Brown to Canadian folk singer/songwriter David Myles, and to beloved childhood entertainer Raffi. In 2009, Joanna changed course to pursue a solo artist career, which led her to release two critically-acclaimed soul/jazz records, Through the Dark (2010) and Kaleidoscope (2013).
