She also revealed that she would be dropping an  album soon.

“Expect to be blown away by MATTER-MORE-FOR-SIS – an unconventional body of work that explores the theme of love and betrayal in ways that are relatable to most.

“Through its fusion of primary genres and subgenres like hip hop, jazz, funk, dubstep amongst others, this album births alternative sounds which, when coupled with cleverly crafted lyrics,  create a refreshing yet thought-provoking experience for listeners who are taken through the journey of disappointment in love but are again reassured by songs such as New Day that there is always hope at the end of the tunnel.”

Upon graduating high school, she moved to the US to pursue her tertiary studies at Bryn Mawr College. She managed to record professionally while studying and would also fit in recording sessions each time she went back home to visit.

In 2016, Shingirira by Kkaiva ft Jøy was released and the song got a lot of positive feedback in the country and beyond. This resulted in her collaborating and engaging musicians from South Africa where she managed to work with Enosoul and they produced an upbeat house song called Tamba. After graduating college, JØY moved to New York to pursue her career in the financial services industry.
