Dear Future Hubbyđź’ś,
Have you ever imagined what it would be like meeting me for the 1st time? Finding me, finally, after all the time, patience, prayers, and maybe even tears? Well I’ve imagined you. I prayed for you. I’ve kissed several frogs only to find that none of them were you. I often wonder what’s taking so long. It feels like I’m standing in a room waiting to enter Disneyland, all while watching others names be called before mine. Watching them experience this magnanimous moment I’ve longed for and desired , to be loved… truly loved, not tolerated or treated as a bridge or an elevator, but a soft safe place to land… it’s that feeling like we’re floating on a big white fluffy cloud, like sailing in the most beautiful clear ocean and we were given the OK to drop anchor while on a super yacht to experience what God created real love to be. Are you praying for me like I’m praying for you? Are you seeking God to know how to catch and keep me? Will you know how to handle my big personality? Can you be gentle with me? Do you understand and know your assignment as my husband? Are you thinking about me? Considering me? Preparing for me? I’m clearly thinking about you. I’m praying for you! Praying that your focus is on God, that you hear Gods voice and follow without fear or delay. Some days my heart beats with excitement, some days it hurts. Only God knows what this journey entails. When I pray for you sometimes I cry, because I know you don’t want to be hurt, neither do I My Love. Sometimes I think about you and smile and laugh knowing how much fun we’re going to have. Like Barbie & Ken, we just fit together. God created us to be this way on purpose with a purpose, because we have a purpose. Our Love Story will help and heal others who have a hard time seeing Gods hand in their lives and situations. Our love will be a ministry for US 1st and then where ever God leads. God preserved and hid me in plain sight just for you. I’m not interested in space fillers, cuffing season or “in the meantime friends”. I want YOU. Patience hasn’t been my strong suit, but I’ve been patiently waiting for you. Love, your wife, Joi 💜
Starting in Music, Acting, and Real Estate.
Witnessing the success that was associated with investing in music led JoiStaRR to quit her studies to become a doctor to pursue a music career. With the help of her brother, she started as a professional songwriter and soon she was writing songs for big names like Chris Brown, Mario, Christina Milian, Tamia, and Brandy.
Her journey in singing started in 2002. She got signed with J Records but later moved to her brother’s My Block Records label. JoiStarr’s singing career rocked with hits like Watch Me, Keep it Moving, and Everything which featured Jadakiss. She received her first Grammy Award when Mary Mary’s single Heaven was nominated for Best Gospel Song.
In 2008, she met Kanye Weste and asked if she could sing for him as a background singer forever. Mr. West declined the offer, telling her she was too talented to be in the background for long. For 5 years, she served as Kanye Weste background musician and during his Glow in the Dark Tour. JoiStarr was also set to join West in his Fame Kills Tour but the tour got canceled when West got into an altercation with Lady Gaga.
Being inactive in the music scene had JoiStarr investing in real estate as an agent running Nest Seekers selling luxury apartments and developing land in Beverly Hills and around the country. Investing and succeeding in real estate and still balancing her role as an actress and singer has had her featured in Forbes Magazine and Essence.
In 2013, she released her first EP, Art and Beat, through her brother’s record label. In 2019, she extended her influence into acting and got a feature in Strive, which has famous actor Danny Glover. In 2020, JoiStarr released her first album Magic, which was inspired by her time as a BGV for Kanye West.
Why Does JoiStarr Sing Secular Music?
Although JoiStarr grew up singing in Church, she does not sing gospel music. In an interview with Essence, she confessed to struggling for years between choosing to sing gospel and other genres. JoiStarr’s decision to do RnB stems from feeling she was selected to sing songs for artists and people who will never go to church or believe in God. Her idea of singing this type of music does not go well with many Christians but she has stuck to her guns. Her musical influences come from inspirational musicians like Erica Campbel (of Mary Mary), her sister-in-law, and Shanta Atkins, who is also her in-law.
