JoJo Razor is a conceptual 3-D native California artist who works with glass. Feeling touch deprived after many years of creating art with video and the computer, JoJo turned her focus from the glass screen in the studio to the glass that she was finding in the street. Working with discarded liquor bottles, she created the Recovered Bottle Project.

While most of her art deals with addiction and the hell that comes with overcoming it, she is most optimistic at what she has found. While digging around in hell, she discovered the reflective shards of wisdom, insight and enchantment. As a trained alcoholigist, she has begun piecing those pieces together in a new body of art called; The Descent.

JoJo has also been involved with music and has sung with California bands such as Crazy Leggs (Modesto), Hidden Secrets (Los Angeles), Johnny Outrageous (Los Angeles), Off the Wall (Sacramento), and Static (Bay Area). She currently performs with VoxMaids, a local Bay Area Duo, featuring Cynthia Weyuker from the Punk Rock Orchestra. They are presently writing new music, performing and recording.

In the winter 2004, JoJo took part in a ParaTheatrical project and worked with one song that was chosen from her genetic ancestry of Scotland. Singing the same song for over three months, she worked with a group of 9 other vocalists, combining elements of theatre, dance, voice work and standing Zazen meditation. Working towards accessing and embodying the internal landscape, their purpose was to build a kind of personal vehicle for expressing their song’s mystery. This happened in solos, duets, trios, quartets, quintets and ever-expanding arrays of choral cacophonies.

The group recorded inside the cavernous Marin Headlands bunkers (2004/2005). The CD is entitled "Songs as Vehicles, the Bunker Sessions" and is for sale on-line.
