JOiO

JOiO (Rus. Джойо) is an international indie and pop-rock band formed in 2012. JOiO is translated from Japanese as “eternal light.” As band’s frontman Roman Kuzmin says, “JOiO” is a comprehensive notion of belonging to the so-called Main Themes, ultimate ideas. The four musicians came from very different musical genres and directions and previously worked with famous Russian bands like IFK, “T.A.T.U.”, Zemfira and others, and now joined JOIO project united by one common idea: make a successful live rock band playing up to date, catchy melodic music. JOiO positions itself as a bilingual band, the tracks fit European and American mainstream pop-rock sound and harmoniously go with both English and Russian lyrics. After two successful EPs in 2013, the band released its Russian album «Стартуют корабли» in October 2014, followed by the English LP “Head In The Clouds” in March 2015. Russian radio stations play JOiO’s songs both in English and Russian. JOiO performed in major clubs in Moscow and Vilnius, as well as participated in numerous music festivals and big shows.
