Joy's Experience

I’ve applied my musical skills in a variety of ways, from leading The Rock & Soul Band as the frontwoman to captivating audiences in live performances at major venues, festivals, and corporate events. My background in theater and film has enhanced my stage presence, allowing me to connect deeply with audiences while delivering powerful, engaging performances. Beyond the stage, I’ve leveraged my vocal training and musicianship to record and release my debut album, The Tempest: A Piece of Joy, blending my passion for music with storytelling. As a co-founder of CMI Radio, LLC., I’ve helped curate and promote diverse musical content, expanding opportunities for independent artists. Additionally, my role as an adjunct professor allows me to mentor aspiring musicians and performers, sharing industry insights and vocal techniques to help them refine their craft. Each performance and project I undertake is driven by my commitment to delivering authentic, high-energy experiences that celebrate the essence of rock and soul music.
