Joy Villa


Joy Villa Biography

Joy Angela Villa (born April 25, 1991), better known by her stage name Princess Joy Villa, is an American singer and songwriter.

Early life

Villa was born in Orange County, California and started performing at age 5. She identifies with a multiracial background of Afro American, Italian, and Choctaw Indian. Her father, Rev. Joseph Villa, was Italian-American and her mother Mildred Angela Pierce Villa was African American, and Choctaw Indian. Her great uncle on her mother's side was jazz vocalist Kenny Hagood. She attended high school at Lompoc High School.

Career

Villa worked as an actress and producer from age 10. From age 14 to 16, she was with Youth Network TV on Comcast Television. With the exception of Hobgoblins 2, her acting career mostly consists of minor, uncredited appearances on television. These roles include an umbrella-wielding carny in the Heroes Season 4 episode "Orientation", and other appearances on CSI: NY, The Valley Girls and MTV Next.

Grammy Award outfits

For three years in a row, Villa has worn an attention-getting outfit to the Grammy Awards:

  • For the 2015 Grammy Awards, she wore a see-through dress made entirely out of orange construction-fencing material, designed by Andre Soriano. The dress was called "unusual" and "a first."
  • For the 2016 Grammy Awards, she wore a similarly see-through dress consisting mostly of fabric spikes. The Huffington Post named it as one of its "Most Outrageous Looks From The 2016 Grammys," and E! noted it as "a show-stopper."
  • At the 2017 Grammy Awards, Villa wore a blue dress, again designed by Soriano, promoting President Donald Trump, featuring his campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and the name "Trump". The publicity from the dress resulted in Villa's album I Make The Static hitting #1 among digital downloads on Amazon.com, and near the top of the rankings on iTunes.

Personal life

Villa has lived in Hollywood, Seattle, and Las Vegas, and currently resides in New York City. She credits her practice of Scientology for improving her life and career.
