Artist of the Month: Joyanne Thorne

New on the Montreal R&B scene, Joyanne Thorne hopes to pave her on path. This Bajan born songstress has big goals for 2011, and she is well on her way to fulfilling them with the release of her new video "Be Free" (directed and produced by Labnoise). Montreal we introduce you  the last I.M.Fly artist of the month for 2010, Miss Joyanne Thorne!


Question 1 What made you decide to pursue a career in singing?
From the time I was a little girl I was always singing in my school choir, I loved it I would watch amazing singers like Whitney Houston and say to myself that the stage is where I want to be.


Question 2 Which artist have influenced your musical style?
My all time musical influence is Whitney Houston.


Question 3 Fill in the blank. Music makes me feel____?
Music makes me feel " Alive "


Question 4 What was the concept behind your hit single “Be Free”.
The concept was to just live life to the fullest, don't ever look back if someone tells you "' you can't do it"" DO It don't listen to anyone just listen to your heart. In this world there is so much negativity and people that will put you down and honestly we have been given a life to make the best of it. So the reason behind the single is to just don't ever tell your self that you can't or that you won't succeed in anything that you put your mind to.


Question 5 Where do you see your musical career in 5 and 10 years from now?
In 5-10 years I see myself being the best artist musically that I can be. There is always room to learn and grow and with experiencing we always will achieve that. I can say the obvious thing which is performing,touring and living my dreams to the fullest but as an artist I am excited for the next 5-10 years because I will gain much more maturity as an artist.


Question 6 What artist(s) from Montreal and abroad would like to collaborate with?
From montreal I would love to collaborate with Karma Atchykah, I have been a fan and I really do like his style of music. International artist that is a hard question but I would love to work with J Cole.


Question 7 Being from Barbados, do you feel you have an advantage or disadvantage in entering the music industry in Canada?
Being an artist born in Barbados now living in Canada there is a slight advantage because I have been exposed to different cultures. In the islands we have our soca, reggae and dub. I know that people really love to see new artist develop from all over the world. but an artist from the Caribbean brings a certain flavor to there music.


Question 8 What future projects are your currently working on?
Right now I am wrapping my E.P. I think its very important to choose the right music to fully introduce yourself to the industry.


Question 9 When can we see you perform live?
My next performance will be at Tapis Rouge (December 23, 2010), the event is being held by Morburn Music and Reason Entertainment. All proceeds from this event will go to the Sun youth Organization so please come out and support.


Question 10 What is your definition of FLY?
My definition of I.M Fly is whatever makes you happy and comfortable in life. If you look in the mirror and like what you see and smile in my books your fly.

Natural Bliss

We live in a world of 9-5 

stop and go, rush hour traffic

we came from  places

where humility was not an option

but a way of life

Monday thru Friday

presentations to deadlines

we get absorbed by what to do next

ask yourself what should you do now?

when we were born, life was simple

eat, sleep and play

everyday was a new day

a new playground waiting to be explored

as we got older, the playground shrunk

and the exploration became confined

suddenly we are worried about what to do

where to be

how to get there

the natural bliss is the natural surrondings

we've choosen to ignore

not by choice but by way of life

laptops, cell phone, cars, jewlery

all of these are adjectives we've placed on our life

live, is a verb that should never be conjucated

"I lived, I was living" those words should not leave our lips

So I ask you, "When will you choose to LIVE?"

the beauty of the unseen world 

is one that will leave a lasting memory

a picture gives temporary justice

an expedition to the untouched lands

gives your mind, body and soul

medicine unclaimed by the doctors of today

but by the landowners of the past.

The Power of the Pencil

I sit in front a blank canvas

with a pencil in my hand

the journey of my imagination

will be driven by each stroke of lead

the power of my thoughts

will be reflected in each shading of darkness

my mouth remains shut

my speech is not in words

but reflected in each line I connect

the power of the pencil 

is too strong to explain

every emotion I have bottled up

becomes displayed without shame

my passion exudes from me

like tears from a newborn

thus my thoughts slowly flow

on this blank canvas,

depicting the power my pencil has

my art has handcuffed my hands

until my masterpiece is completed

the power of the pencil

will have my heart arrested

due to the journey my mind fears to take.
