Bio
.. .. .. .. .... .. ...... In every generation there is an artist who pushes industry standards and musical tastes to the limits, and Joy is such an artist. With an unusual and eclectic mix of soul, hip hop and rock, this amazing singer/songwriter offers listeners a musicality far beyond her twenty-four years. Her music is beautifully constructed lyrically and musically to explore the complexities of the human spirit. .. Joy's second independent solo release, ..ESM.. (Release Date: May 9th 2010), the meaning of the acronym will soon be announced, is both soulful and deeply amazing. In an attempt to create a work that had musical integrity as well as obtaining a commercial sound, Joy entered a world of truth and discovery as ..ESM.. developed. ..ESM.. is both an artistic and contemporary achievement: musicians can appreciate the layering of genres, from Reggae to Hip Hop to Soul and Rock, to create a fresh sound. Music lovers can expect ..ESM.. to stand the test of time. .. ..ESM.. ESM will be available for free download on Joy’s official website, on sale at all of Joy's live shows, & available for purchase on several online retailers. .. .. .. .. ....ESM...ARE ..YOU READY? ........ -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING ...
"To think negatively is like taking a WEAKENING DRUG.
When you say, "I CAN'T" and EXPECT THE WORST,
you become WEAK and UNHAPPY. When you say
"I CAN", and EXPECT SUCCESS, you fill yourself with
CONFIDENCE and HAPPINESS."
~ Remez Sasson
CLEAR THOUGHTS PRODUCE CLEAR RESULTS!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SELF - RESPECT ...
"Don't rely on SOMEONE ELSE for your HAPPINESS and SELF WORTH. Only YOU can be responsible for that. If you can't LOVE and RESPECT YOURSELF - NO ONE ELSE will be able to make that happen.
Accept WHO YOU ARE - COMPLETELY; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit ..."
~ Stacey Charter
IF YOU WANT TO BE RESPECTED BY OTHERS, YOU

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE NEW YEAR ...
"Another fresh NEW YEAR is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And SING MORE JOYFUL SONGS!”
~ William Arthur Ward
