Who IS she?

Joi is a Memphis based educator, curator, artist and musician by way of Los Angeles. She has always been musically inclined, and taught herself to play the bass, guitar, and keyboard, in addition to singing. During the time she played bass and sang in the Pop-Punk band Crow Baby, she co-founded the group  Thick Thigh Collective. Together, they published zines, participated in zine fests, and led workshops. After mutually deciding to end the collective, Joi wrote, directed, and starred in an experimental horror short titled "This Could Be You" in the film Beauty Standards. Since then, they’ve been putting their creative energy into teaching art classes, acrylic painting, embroidery, and other various crafts in addition to playing bass, guitar and singing in the band Handsome Girl Pretty Boy.
