Karl B. Jo.-

I was born a native Houstonian, the son of a blues guitarist. My father was a guitar gunslinger on the local club scene. I received my first guitar at the age of six. I would listen to albums by was Montgomery, B.B. King, Albert Collins, and Jimmy Hendrix and try to imitate what i heard. After a few years and thousands of hours of practice, my father gave me one of his old electric guitars, a Lindell.
I developed my skills by learning songs that afforded my the opportunity to play in clubs at the age of 12. In the 80’s i began doing tours with local bands. I went on a national tour with
“H-Town” the Houston r&b group who recorded songs such as “Knockin’ the Boots,” and “Keepin My Composer.” We toured Europe and performed at the Apollo Theater, Madison Square Garden, and on the Arsenio hall show. Four years after the untimely death of “H-Town” lead singer Dino, I became a session player for local and national recording artist “Lil’ Keke,”
This lead me to be interested in becoming a producer. I formed a record label called “trackland.” To enhance my skills, I am currently working on my debut cd “kickin it.”
In addition to producing, I also perform with local bands such as "Password" and "The Jimmy Hunter Band."
