Drawing comparisons to Norah Jones, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, and Corinne Bailey Rae, Joy`s music creates the perfect atmosphere for your wedding cocktail hour, private party, or corporate event. She has 10 years of experience as a performing artist and has performed in venues large and small and has had the opportunity to share the stage and open for Jeffrey Gaines, Cody Chestnutt, Tyrone Wells, Najee, Allen Toussaint, and Serena Ryder to name a few. A write-up on NPR's All Things Considered says "The depth of subjects she tackles in her poetic lyrics are perfectly complemented by a unique blend of neo-soul, with just the right dash of pop...a truly compelling act to watch in person.
Joy came to our house on the Saturday before Valentine's Day for an intimate private session. Not only did she play music while the chef prepared our food, but she stayed after for a private 6 song session. It was the perfect evening all because of joy.
Price Range: $400-1000
Gig Length: 60 - 150 minutes
Languages: English
Offerings:
Background Music:
Clients will often hire me to provide ''mood-setting'' music as guests arrive and leave for the evening. Mood-setting can also occur during a reception, as guests mingle, during the cocktail hour...etc.
Special Music
Clients may or may not have me perform an original song during the event that commemorates the occasion.
Concert:
Client may have me perform an official concert for guests. In this case, music would be considered more of the centerpiece of the evening instead of mood-setting music in the background.
Events take all shapes and forms. Willing to talk with the client to understand their vision for the event.
Singer/Songwriter Joy Ike’s music, voice, and writing have drawn comparisons to female musicians such as Corinne Bailey Rae, Regina Spektor, Norah Jones, and Fiona Apple. Leaving her career as a publicist in 2008, Ike has since played hundreds of shows across the United States. She has had the opportunity to share the stage and open for Jeffrey Gaines, Cody Chestnutt, Tyrone Wells, Najee, Allen Toussaint, and Serena Ryder to name a few. A write-up on NPR's All Things Considered says "The depth of subjects she tackles in her poetic lyrics are perfectly complemented by a unique blend of neo-soul, with just the right dash of pop...a truly compelling act to watch in person with the ability to create an intimate setting in locations big and small." A segment on NPR's World Cafe (December 2013) featured Ike as one of Pennsylvania's up-and-coming artists.
