Reader Sound Off! 10 Female Singers Who Are Underrated…
JoiStarr aka Joi Campbell
Joi is the sister to Warryn Campbell who produces for Mary Mary and many others. While he’s a big time producer, Joi on the other hand, has been singing background a very long time for artists such as Brandy and Kanye West. She was signed to Clive Davis’ label and was featured on a few promo samples and soundtracks but a full album never surfaced. In 2011 she released two mixtapes: Broccoli and Noodles and Magic Mondays, and it’s clear that she has an incredible talent for songwriting as well as singing. I was first introduced to her voice while watching David Talbert’s play, Love on Layaway. Her range and style of singing sets her apart. Please check out her rare vocal abilities on the track, “Teddy Bear with Vampire Fangs.” Don’t ask me about the title.
