Unurzul aka Jojo

Come learn more about Unurzul Byambajav, aka Jojo, a 30-year-old jazz vocalist and producer based in Ulaanbaatar, and her creative journey. Music has been her lifelong passion, which propelled her to take a music reporter job at national TV at the age of 18. After joining Goethe Musiklabor Ulaanbaatar in 2016, Jojo started actively pursuing the career of a jazz musician. As she is devoted to advancing the music sector, helping fellow artists thrive, she has been working towards building a creative hub, focusing on the music industry. Interpersonal skills is her big asset, as she works as a producer and manager of the local jazz club, Fat Cat, which houses all the aspiring jazz musicians of Ulaanbaatar. A chaotic optimist by nature, Jojo believes she can find beauty anywhere, sharing her light and optimism through music.

Jojo has organized dozens of concerts, including International Jazz Day tribute concerts in cooperation with UNESCO and a 6-week festival, Jazz City Revival, with over 40 international artists involved. Last October, she performed at the Royal Opera of Versailles, France with The Cultural Envoy of Mongolia, Morin Khuur Ensemble during the first State visit of Mongolia to the French Republic. Currently, she is working on her first solo album.
