As she got older she ventured into playing drums and became a mentee to the sound engineer for the church. The m

As an intern for Grammy Award winning engineer Craig Bauer of Hinge studios in Chicago, Joi was able to see hands on how a professional industry recording studio, engineer and assistant engineer (Jeff Breakey) operated.
