JOI LIAYÉ
JOI LIAYÉ
Detroit born, LA based R&B artist, songwriter and actress Joi Liayé is recognized by combining sultry vocals with chilled out production. After studying musical theatre in college, she began her career recording demos for other artists. During that time, she managed to find the combination of pure, clear highs and softly spoken lows that her current material showcases. She is an expert at writing her feelings into music; with each track she embodies sincerity, vulnerability, and charisma.
Her releases range from All Yours, which brings her romantic side to the forefront in a video equal parts gentle yet sultry, and the sweetness of neo soul with a bolder attitude in her collaborations with rappers Dave B. and Jaywop. In just a little over 1 year, Joi has released 5 stunning singles. Laid back rhythms and layered, hazy harmonies maker her music the ultimate mood setters.
Aside from recording, Joi actively pursues an acting career, which landed her a debut role as Iesha in Netflix’s Dear White People, CBS' The Neighborhood and currently filming a recurring role on a major BET show.
Joi is inspired by both classic acts like Sade and Amel Larrieaux as well as modern neo-soul figures like Jhené Aiko, and her upcoming 2023 EP is eagerly awaited by a loyal fanbase. Aside from recording and acting, Joi hosts a talkshow on Youtube ‘The Vegan View’ and is a vegan influencer known as veganwithjoi.
