Meet our next Culture Calls guest, @joyiasound - R&B singer, writer, producer, and composer. People have compared her to the likes of Aaliyah, H.E.R., Jhené Aiko, and Sabrina Claudio, but somehow still place her in her own distinct category. Tune into our IG Live for an interview with Joyia, hosted by @roshanie__ . So far, Joyia has garnered attention from both local and international audiences. By My Side, produced by Toronto up-and-comer GOVI (Sabrina Claudio), was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. Her Purple (EP), which was released as a collaborative album with producer HMLT , and has gained support from CBC Radio in Canada, and Reprezent Radio in the UK. Executively produced by Corey of HMLT, her first EP Legends fused hip-hop, jazz, and both live and electronic dark R&B sounds with Joyia’s refined vocal style; one that feels all too familiar yet indisputably new. Legends garnered acclaim from Complex, Sidewalk Hustle, and Exclaim Magazine, and has been featured on Spotify’s Just Vibing playlist. Her most recent 2020 release, Genesis (EP), has garnered support from radio stations in the UK, USA, and Canada, and she only plans on expanding. With a solid repertoire under her belt, she is currently gearing up for a calendar of releases set for later this year.
