What's Goin' On!

Aside from making NABFEME a household name in the Motor City… our Detroit Leader has been very busy in the studio!! Powerhouse singer/songwriter and NABFEME Detroit OM, JOYA burst onto the music scene in the mid-90s with her debut album "Here I Am" and the breakout single, "I Like What You're Doing to Me." She has written for, toured and shared the stage with many major artists and now she has a "new" musical treat for us all.  She has been putting the finishing touches on her latest EP "Accolades," which features the new single, "MATCH!"  Click the link below and watch Joya's biopic.
