About Me

I've been singing ever since I can remember and music has always been a part of my life. If I couldn't sing, I wouldn't even be me. My mother and grandmother really saw it in me at a young age and pushed me to do what I have done in my music career. Growing up in New Orleans and living there my whole life played a part in my musical growth also. New Orleans is the greatest!

I've been blessed to have shared stages with artists Vashawn Mitchell, John P. Kee, Tonex, Mike Phillips, Nikki Ross, Dwele, Aaron Hall, Mary Griffin, Bishop Paul S. Morton and others. Performances include the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, The Bayou Classic opening concerts for artists Patti LaBelle and Confunction and the Essence Music Festival. I was also one of the top ten semi-finalists for 106 and Park's "Mimi I Wanna Sing Contest" sponsored by BET.I relocated to Houston from New Orleans after hurricane Katrina and God has really been taking care of me. I was formerly the vocal director and background singer for artist Mary Griffin. I'm currently a background singer for Khara."I believe that life is about sacrifices, but living freely and learning what is worth sacrificing! My space is my spot, my freedom of expression.If nothing else, I have learned that life is the greatest gift given by God, but if you don't spiritually prepare yourself to deal with it, you will find yourself lost in it."Im a very creative person that loves art, theater, dance, music and writing. "I enjoy every aspect of it." I probably would be a writer if I wasn't a musician.You can check out my music page at (www.myspace.com/joyangele)or just click on my picture "Joy Angele" (number 1 on my friends list.)
