About Jojo
Jojo Mayer is an internationally-renowned drum artist whose reputation as a master-drummer continues to grow. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland and spent much of his childhood traveling throughout Europe and the Far East with his father who was a professional musician. This constant exposure to music influenced the youngster to take up the drums at a very early age and, by the time he was 18, Jojo had begun his professional career by joining jazz pianist Monty Alexander\'s group— touring extensively in Europe and playing all the major jazz festivals, including the North-Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux and many others, while backing up jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone which introduced him to an international audience.
Since 1991 Jojo has resided in New York City and has remained busy with both live and studio work while continuing to travel the world; performing and recording as a sideman with a variety of artists covering a wide range of musical styles. Over the past decade, in addition to gaining acclaim in the international drumming community through his collaborations with the Screaming Headless Torsos and Meshell N’dege Ochello,
Jojo has also developed a very successful career as a leader, producer and clinician. He has toured and performed at the world’s biggest drum festivals and events on numerous occasions, including the Modern Drummer Festival and PASIC (US), the Montreal Drum Fest (Canada), the International Drummer Meeting Koblenz (Germany), Drummer: Live (UK), the Singapore Drumfest and the Ultimate Drum Weekend (Australia).
