Emerging indie duo Dillon Jo is set to make their highly anticipated debut with the release of their first single, It Was You (She’s Been Waiting For), on April 11th, 2025. Bringing a fresh, unfiltered voice to the indie-folk scene, Dillon Jo blends hauntingly simple instrumentation with deeply evocative vocals, crafting songs that are as raw as they are unforgettable.
At the heart of Dillon Jo are Georgie Levien and Betty Smith, two musicians whose journey began on Take the Mic (2022) and culminated in a powerful creative partnership at Massey University in Wellington. Both artists had already carved out their own paths in the music world—Georgie with a series of well-received singles that garnered over 35,000 streams, and Betty as a standout member of Wellington’s beloved band BaldLeaf, whose track thedumbthingsyoudo earned over 17,000 streams. Now, together as Dillon Jo, they are crafting a sound that is deeply personal, emotionally charged, and undeniably real.
