JoyaVeli’s story
Been making music since a sperm count in my Father’s scrotum. Fighting through thousands to millions of other sperms to make it here in Toledo, Ohio.
Been singing before I could talk, humming hymns with my Grandmother Beatrice Henry. “Clouds Of Angeles” on the local radio station every other Sunday.

JoyaVeli ( Jibril Bey named me this) For my Love for Tupac Shakur. Legal name Christen JoyThell Jane Henry,
Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio on The Northside, Fulton Street and Raised in the Moody Manor, and Rosewood st. Started singing before I could talk with my Grandmother Beatrice Henry. Singing in our church Choirs, Performing, recording, and radio play. Started writing my own poetry at 9, turning my poetry into rhythms and rhymes at 12. I found a love for Hip Hop through Tupac who sparked my brain to change the world through my fearlessness of death and the power in my voice. By the time I got into my own place at 18 I was joining freestyle sessions in parties and bars wondering why no one would freestyle after me. Later, I started getting serious about my music and searched for ways to be able to make an income out of it. I have won a few competitions. I have also opened up for Shawna in Detroit Michigan 2011 (Off Ludacris Fantasy Song), Lil Flip & ICP 2012 in Allen Park Michigan,
FreeWay in Baltimore Maryland 2017,
Mr. Cheeks Krane Theater NY, 2016

I have performed in just about every bar or open mic in my City. Now I have two phenomenal Managers, getting booked for paid tours, I am music. Music is me. Bringing Joy to the world through the frequency of sound ROYALTY OF THE NORTH of my Itty Bitty City. My goal is to heal with my music while closing the wealth gap for generations to come. I am not a rapper though. I AM a FeMC.
