biography

At Leeds University, Joy continued her interest in singing and songwriting, and often performed as a pianist/vocalist. Although she studied law, her heart always belonged to music. She says,"I was constantly in the Music Department playing the piano and singing my songs - the music students thought I was in their year!"

Subsequent solo performances in Strasbourg led to her recording as a vocalist for a French record label, and it was this experience that fuelled her determination to pursue her ambition as a singer-songwriter.

Since then, Joy has performed her songs live on Sky Music television, on UK radio and at an array of venues from three gigs on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, to Burgess Park Music Festival and to gigging extensively on the London circuit - including headlining at the Dublin Castle and Café de Paris.

She has previously worked with such highly regarded producers as Linslee (The Lighthouse Family), Simon Smith, Turtle K & Simon Kemper (Ministry of Sound Recordings). After a brief stint with an Independent label where the focus was too 'RnB' for her natural style, Joy chose to go her own way and 2007 sees her self-release her highly anticipated debut album, "Saint for a Sinner"
