And the story begins...
At 20 she was awarded an ARIA for highest selling single. At 21 she collaborated her talents with ilanda to release an Australian Top 20. At 22 and several hit songs later, Joanne is set to release her debut album titled Do Not Disturb on Monday September 17.
Moving from London to Australia at age 10, Joanne was destined for a career in the entertainment business, so much so that she commenced performing professionally while still in her teens. The aspiring singer had spent a year in the recording studio when the break-through single 'Jackie' was unleashed on the public in 1999. The song took on a life all its own and was soon a recognized national smash hit, earning the title of 'Highest Selling Single for 1999' and making Joanne a star overnight.
With follow up Top 40 singles, 'Pack Your Bags' and 'Are You Ready', Joanne was soon signed to major record label Universal Music Australia. In 2001 Joanne released a further two hit singles 'Busted', an up-beat jam about a cheating boyfriend, and 'So Damn Fine', a groovy house foray. Due for release on Monday October 1, her brand new single titled 'I Don't Know', is a highly melodic and more mature up tempo dance track.
Do Not Disturb was produced and recorded in Dance World Studios, South Melbourne, a second home for Joanne where she conducts all vocal and dance rehearsals. It's also the home of her management team and production company Blue Planet Productions, who are better known as George Papapetros, Maxim Kourilov and Chris Apostolidis.
When asked about the new album, Joanne comments "The album is a long time coming, it's like three years in the making. I'm glad that it happened that way because it allowed my producers and I to explore the writing and collaboration aspects of recording. I'm very excited about it. It's very pop, disco and R&B. I'm really happy with it.
Do Not Disturb will include 'Jackie' and another 15 original tracks, most of which she either wrote or co-wrote. "It's basically just a lot of personal experiences and a lot of things that I've gone through, put into writing. It was a great opportunity for me to grow, not only as a vocalist, but also as a songwriter"
Joanne has moved on from the success of 'Jackie' to conceive an album justifying her position as one of Australia's hottest female artists. Do Not Disturb is proof that she can conquer a dance song, master an R&B track and deliver a ballad, all with the same intensity.
