The key to exceptional songwriting is to make it seem effortless like the words were picked out of thin air, arranged into perfect verses, and bound together by hooks that resonate with listeners for years. That's lyricism, something Mashonda, the name behind some of hip-hop's most memorable hits, mastered in her teens. With a discography that could make any R&B debutante blush, Mashonda has remained mostly a behind-the-scenes force. Until now. Finally, the girl with the stunning, model-like looks and soulful voice that gently fluctuates from soprano to alto, is poised to bask in a spotlight all her own.
Mashonda was first heard on albums like Noreaga's 2002 release
"God's Favorite" and Swiss Beatz's debut from the same year, "G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories." Since then, she's appeared on tracks by Jay-Z ("Girl's Best Friend"), Cassidy ("Get No Better") and Eve ("I Got A Man"). At this point,Mashonda is signed to Swiss Beatz's very own Full Surface Records (along with Cassidy and New Comers Bone Thugs N Harmony).
January Joy is the debut album by American singer Mashonda, released international in November 2005 (see 2005 in music) via J Records. The album features tracks, produced by Swizz Beatz and Kanye West, including two singles: "Blackout" and "Back of Da club".
