Who are Jojo and Bri?

Bri'Anna went viral in 2020 after posting a video singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Joseph Clarke, which attracted the attention of notable Hollywood A-listers such as Whoopi Goldberg and Kristen Bell. Bri'Anna hails from a long line of talented singers. Her mother and uncle are both accomplished soul singers. Joseph, Bri'Anna's uncle, is a phenomenal vocalist with incredibly powerful and controlled tones.



 

Joseph B Clarke, popularly known as Jojo, is a five-tool musician who has sprung into the national music scene as well as into the ears and hearts of music fans worldwide. JoJo has been on several television shows, most notably as a part of the trio RESOUND on season 15 of NBC's 'America's Got Talent.' He has also been on Australia's 'The Morning Show,' CBS's 'Greatest #Athome Videos,' CBS's 'Inside Edition,' and ABC's 'The View' in 2020. A YouTube search of his name will bring up his amazing and ever-growing video library, as well as some of his previous broadcast performances on BET's 'Joyful Noise' (2016), NBC's 'David Letterman Show' (2015), and ABC's 'Good Morning America (2014). This singer, composer, arranger, voice teacher, and producer is now on a journey as a global artist, and he wants to keep spreading his gift.

Shayla Wynn from 'American Idol' and niece Bri'Anna "Bri" Harper, who performed on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' are also alumni of his training.
