About Joi Marshall:

Hailing from the south side of Chicago, IL., Joi Marshall grew up listening to Motown and R&B music, envisioning herself as the next Diana Ross. It was as a student at Holy Angels Catholic grade school, that she got her first opportunity to sing before an audience. “I was five years old and was asked to sing Brown Baby with Mahalia Jackson. All I remember is looking up at this powerful, spiritual woman and thinking how important she must have been because people were extraordinarily moved by her performance,” says Joi.

Witnessing first hand Mahalia’s ability to command an audience, Joi was convinced more than ever the she too was meant to sing professionally. After graduating high school she took a step towards her dream and moved to Los Angeles, believing that if there were any place she could make it as a singer it would be L.A.

In 1992, Joi was selected to become one of the three young singers to join Giant Records’ newly formed R&B group, Jade. The multi-platinum success of Jade afforded Joi the opportunity to travel the world performing in arenas and stadiums, and allowed her to experience live television performances on BET, MTV, Arsenio Hall, and British television’s “TOP of the POPs” to name a few.

Says Joi, “I believe that I must live the example of what I teach by doing what I’m supposed to do when I hear from God, be it to minister by teaching, writing books, songwriting or singing. It’s all a part of His purpose for my life.”
