Biography

Born to a Guyanese mother and Vincentian father, Joie Parris came from very humble beginnings and was taught the value of hard work and education. From the age of 7, Joie knew she wanted to be a singer and asked her mother to fund an album as a gift for her 10th birthday.
Joie quite often thinks back on the day her mother told her that there was no way she could pay for tertiary education for her or her brother. Desperate to make a better life for her family, Joie would follow a more traditional path but music would always be her escape.
In 2012, tragedy struck the family with Joie's mot ... her's diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Her mother's death caused a complete shift in Joie's perspective and shattered all her hopes and dreams. Having completed her university education, she moved to the exclusive island of Canouan, described by Forbes as "the preferred playground for a bevy of billionaires", to work for a construction company. Whilst there, Joie is encouraged by peers to audition at one of the hotels. This would change the course of her life and reignite her childhood dream of becoming a singer. Joie was hired by EVERY luxury establishment on the island including Mandarin Oriental, Canouan Island and would progress to other islands within the Lesser Antilles.
After three years performing in the Caribbean and developing her repertoire in Jazz, Soul and Top 40 hits, Joie took the bold step of moving her talent to international shores including New York and now Asia. Joie commands the stage and pulls her audience in with her unique style and vigor. Her deep rich tones and emotional delivery will take you all the way to the stars. She is a lover of all things Jazzy with influences from Mose Allison, Sarah Vaughan, Ella FItzgerald and Natalie Cole. Her repertoire includes Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Betty Carter, Tony Bennett, Norah Jones, Nancy Wilson, Portuguese Bossa Nova and Jazz/Blues compositions of Top40 songs from artistes such as The Beatles, Jessie J, and Sting. In addition to working on new music, Joie Parris is in constant search for new and exciting experiences around the world. Read More
