JOYAA, an Australian living on Dartmoor with partner in music and life Gavin Jurkschat.
A singer/songwriter, visual artist, dancer, with a contemporary celebration of life and nature.
She embraces technology in graphic arts, website design, engineering in the studio
and more recently editing dvd’s. With many album releases she performs with her band,
aswell as Aria Ma and Daughters of Gaia .

"I love it here, we live at 1000ft and can see the sea, with the biggest market place in Europe
only a few hours away, we have the best of both world"
Musically JOYAA is too pop for world music, yet there's a quality of substance behind the smooth grooves
Lyrically JOYAA goes two ways, dark and challenging or contagiously happy, a mix of global vs intimate
Performing JOYAA has a presence and energy that is big yet focused, risking it all for the song
JOYAA creates her music with Gavin Jurkschat, together they are formidable songwriters and have
become very serious producers not only for themselves but for many acts that come into the studio.

Gavin plays most instruments from wild guitar to subtle programming. Performing live and on the
blue in green album, they are joined on piano and keyboards by Howard Irons and Avron Levine
on Drums, and occasionally Vanessa Williams on Bass.
