Биография

Joanne Hogg, Irish born singer, song writer and composer. Best known for her role as lead vocalist with UK based progressive Celtic rock band Iona, and also as the “voice “ of Xenogears, her musical career has spanned three decades. Her discography includes 7 studio albums with Iona and several live recordings also with the band, and she has recorded 5 solo CDs to date. Her distinctively Northern European vocal sound has a soulful, Celtic quality, at times ethereal and delicate, yet with the capacity for passionate and powerful delivery of her heartfelt lyrics. The songs cover a wide range of themes , both personal and global, with spiritual and intuitive elements. There is also a reflective and compassionate view on some of planet earth’s lamentable tragedies. Her latest recordings, entitled The MAP Project , is a compellingly hopeful and artistically original collection of songs inspired by ancient biblical accounts of Miracles and Parables.
