Joy...and the occasional extra...usually Chris, Elliot, Jason, and Peace...depending on who's available. And then when I go out of town its a whole new set of people. Sometimes I take advantage of my limbs and stomp and clap and snap...and that's my band.

What Others Are Saying...
"Joy Ike is one of the artists [who] will ultimately be responsible for placing Pittsburgh’s music scene firmly on the map." -Allhiphop.com
"...a rising artist, testing her own limits and searching for her voice, allows the music to come together in an honest way and an indescribable spell is cast over the audience. It’s real, it’s powerful, and adjectives or reviews don’t do it justice."- Soul-Audio
"…very much like a neo-soul contender in the vein of Corrine Bailey Rae or Norah Jones." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Ike’s lyrics not only connect to her listeners but they inspire, challenge, and motivate her listeners to push through life’s toughest spots one day at a time." -Wrecked For the Ordinary
Hey, just to let everyone know. We will be playing with Texas in July on November 8th at the Keynote Cafe. We hope to see all of you there. For more information on tickets and info for the show please message us or comment us :D
Thanks for the add and the interest in our music and what we are doing. Visit our page often for updates on the recording of our full length album and touring. And to answer your question.... We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Shadow Lounge. The sound was great, the atmosphere was great, and the people were even better. Hope to be back in Pittsburgh soon.
Peace my friend. I have yet to make the transition onto twitter. I am a strong believer in 'less is more.' Although, to keep it all the way real, I get strong encouragement from a few folks on a consistent basis to join twittermania!
Well I actually am in massachusetts, at shcool.... twas my sister who was in the UK (lucky)- so I can't make it to the show, but I wish I could! have fun joy!
Dear Joy, Thanks so much for the friendship. Beautiful singing and writing on "Warriors Get Your Gear On". I loved the intricate counterpoint of the drumming against the smooth, effortless vocals. Great production and a very fresh sound. I invite you to come on over and take a listen to my songs. I recently posted the final tracks to my debut CD "East of Eden". I'd be very open to any feedback you might have. Congratulations on the tour. I found you through my Myspace friendship with Garret Heath. Be well and be happy, Cap Wilhelm-Safian
