Go-Jo

Introducing Go-Jo, the solo project of the emerging pop star Marty Zambotto, Currently Sydney based, Go-Jo spent his early years living off the grid on a self-sustained property, growing their own food and with no running water or connection to a power network, a time which Go-Jo looks back on fondly. Despite the challenges, Go-Jo's upbringing instilled in him a deep appreciation for nature (he still talks to trees sometimes), a DIY approach, and an chance to develop tastes and values free of social influences that is reflected in his music.

Go-Jo's exposure to music began at a young age, in a house that encouraged both dancing and self-expression to the hits of the 2000s while also appreciating his parents' collection of records that included many of the great singer songwriters e.g. Bob Dylan. At the age of 13, his mum (who was the frontwoman for a local rock act herself) bought him his first guitar ignited his passion for creating music.

After eventually moving to the nearest major city (Perth WA) on a football scholarship, Go-Jo was introduced to writing songs, producing, mixing, and recording, eventually saving up for his first digital audio workstation (DAW) at 16, initially producing for other vocalists before finding his own voice.

Go-Jo's music is the culmination of his appreciation for the artform of memorable songwriting, and the ability to share emotions through songs. His music is a blend of pop with influences of indie and folk music, which are underpinned by a DIY approach and a constant curiosity to develop his sound. Go-Jo is inspired by great songwriters, but he seeks to incorporate this guitar-based songwriting style into modern pop production, influenced largely by Max Martin, Shellback, Illangelo and other production masters.

What sets Go-Jo apart from other artists is his incredible ability to write, produce, record, mix, master and perform as an artist, whilst also having an almost innate knack for connection with fans, entertaining, and engaging with audiences both in person and online. He has championed an outside of the box approach to delivering his music to new audiences and is constantly looking for new ways to pair his catchy music with his captivating personality and personal style.
