Gypsy soul, Billie-Jo Porter, is pure sunshine. The singer-songwriter’s rootsy sound flirts with Country, Americana and Indie Folk to create music that heals.
Chasing thrills around North America on a shoestring budget, Billie-Jo spotted a poster for a Canadian yoga festival and the wheels of change began to turn. “When I saw that poster, I didn’t know why or how, I just knew that I was going to that festival”.
She landed a gig as a volunteer and with it, an all-access pass. ”I just had to do a couple of shifts in exchange for access to all the workshops,” she laughs. “I finally got quiet enough to listen to the voice inside me that reminded me music was my true calling, where I could do the most good.”
Billie Jo Porter’s music often revels in joy and optimism, yet remains deeply introspective – an apt embodiment of the dynamic songwriter. Her contemplative songwriting has one mission; to make the world a brighter place.
