Her uninhibited lyrics and sultry voice pay great homage to the gripping songs written by this 23 year old singer-songwriter. In a unique blend of worldly intellect and pop, Joy enters the global music scene with an undeniably meaningful first album. With training in cello, piano, guitar and flute, the intimatly chilling vocal abilities of the talented songwriter do not go unnoticed. While her music speaks for itself, it is amongst many attributes which deem Joy a tremendously spell-binding aritist.This beautiful African-born singer commands attention with her presence and charisma. Drawing upon childhood, Joys amazing ability to trancend genres stems from her culturally diverse roots. As a Peace Corps volenteer and former musician in Southern Africa, Joys father met her mother, a teacher from Swaziland. "When I was young," Joy recounts "we drove around in a land cruiser. Whenever we went anywhere, Dad either had his guitar or was playing records from the US. Growing up listening to the Doobie Brothers, CSN, James Taylor, Toto, then hearing Paul Simon's legendary Graceland... was unbeleivable." It is the combination of this tremendous background and her gifted ear that give Joy the foundation upon which to write both musically and intellectually meaningful pop. Joy is currently unsigned and is in the process of accepting offers for management and recording contracts.
