Joanne Hogg is a Northern Irish musician, best known for her work as the lead singer and songwriter with the Celtic Christian progressive rock band Iona.

[2] After graduating, Hogg interned as a junior doctor at Belfast City Hospital to complete her registration.

The tracks that feature on this album are a selection of re-arranged traditional hymns, with Iona providing the instrumental melodies.

Composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, the ending-theme song "Small Two of Pieces", along with an extra track "Stars of Tears" (not featured in the game) were recorded.

Mitsuda also invited her to record the vocal themes for the spiritual sequel to Xenogears, Xenosaga: Episode One released four years later in 2002.

Hogg's vocals were not featured in any of the later Xenosaga releases, as Yasunori Mitsuda was replaced with Yuki Kajiura as the game's musical composer.
