Joyya Thomson (born Jan. 4th, 1987), better known by her stage name Joyya Marie (J.Marie), is an American singer-songwriter. She was born and raised in Portland, OR and later relocated to the Seattle, WA Metropolitan area in her early 20’s. In October 2015 Joyya Marie self released her first R&B single titled Therapy, a song her listeners refer to as “silky, sexy perfection”. 

Marie is a neo soul singer whose music has elements of Alternative R&B and urban pop. Her forthcoming release includes songs full of real life experiences guided by her smooth, rich voice. Joyya’s lyrics are described as honest and confident, driven by loves emotional roller coaster. 

Saeeda “Mama Sae” Wright is one of the Pacific Northwest premier vocalist and song writers. What sets her apart from her contemporaries is that Saeeda’s vocal abilities are a gift, and not simply a skill. Before Saeeda spoke her first words, she had already discovered, and began the process of fine tuning the internal instrument that she was so blessed to be born into this world with. Many of the churches within her hometown of Portland Oregon were amazed as they witnessed Saeeda transform from of a young gifted child that sang with so much promise, into a beautiful woman that embraced her gift and used it with both power and poise. Saeeda is not only aware of the influence that her gift affords her, but she is also respectful of the position that it provides her in the lives of others. Saeeda takes these positions very serious, and for this reason added to her awareness by attending Clark Atlanta University as a “Voice Major”. Currently “Mama Sae” is a member of Prince’s New Power Generation Band and is featured with the Tim Snider Trio. 

Rich Hunter opens.
