With a style influenced by Grace Jones, and her soulful voice, Joella has been making waves, performing at venues such as SOBs in NYC, House of Blues in Hollywood, The Forum in Inglewood, as well as other venues. Her music has been heard on various VH1, Bravo! and Lifetime television shows, as well as featured in NPR's "Songs We Love" segment.
