JO MEIKLE

Jo Meikle is a 24 year old musician and artist deeply inspired by the natural world. 

​

He studied his craft with free jazz legend Mark Sanders whilst studying at the Leeds Conservatoire. He is now working on pushing the boundaries of Jazz, Techno and Experimental Electronics by using sounds and technologies new to the scene.

As a child Jo started his career playing marching drums for ‘New Orleans Styled’ Street Brass Bands. Since graduating LCon in 2019 he has since been involved in the Leeds Jazz scene, warming up for The Karen Sharp Quartet, Tony Woods and Emilia Martensson. Jo is also involved in the ‘UK New Jazz’ scene, playing support for, Steam Down, Theon Cross and Ruby Rushton.

​

Since the covid lock downs Jo has doubled down on honing the electronic side of his craft being influenced heavily by Christian Loffler, Bonobo and Parra For Curva.

He has recently moved to the isolated Brunel Manor for some time to study and develop new ways to bring music to life.
