Meaza Joy – Blues Rising — Album Release Party: “Free To Be Me”

Meaza Joy is a rising singer-songwriter, model, and actress whose soulful voice evokes legends like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Koko Taylor, and Etta James. Mentored by Blues Music Award–winning artists and active with the Pinetop Perkins Foundation Youth, she has been recording in Nashville since age nine and now performs nationwide, from Beale Street and the International Blues Challenge in Memphis to the National Blues Museum in St. Louis.

She recently performed at the Chicago Blues Festival and was featured in a successful all-emerging artist showcase at Rosa’s Lounge, further cementing her presence in the Chicago blues scene. A dynamic live performer in duo, trio, travel band, or full 12-piece configurations, she has opened for the Amanda Fish Band on an extended Southwest tour and frequently joins touring acts on stage.

Her latest single “All At Once,” featuring John Stamos on drums and produced by Michael Gigante, is out now. Her debut CD, Free To Be Me—produced by Annika Chambers and Paul Deslauriers and recorded at renowned blues studios in St. Louis and Houston—is now available.
