Joya started taking vocal lessons, and got accepted to Artez Conservatory to study jazz. At that time she discovered other genres of music and began writing her own songs. Two years later she was asked to create a soundtrack for a theatre play for theatre production house MC, called “BH”. The project turned out to become a multilateral album with the help of producers SirOj, Presto, Big2, Hayzee, Wan and Full Crate. In 2011 she released an EP with Kubus called “Mister Sinister”, inspired by the book Lord of the Barnyard. She was featured on Saux’ Rear Window EP, released in Feb 2012.
