Joya Bravo is determined to make room for her versatile sound in the music industry. The singer, rapper, songwriter, and violinist, uses music to showcase her many talents. The most recent project for Bravo was becoming the new face of the McDonald’s Dollar Van Campaign, where she sings along with rapper Wordspit. This quadruple threat is more than ready to take the world by storm.

Where are you from?

My family is Jamaican; I was born in Queens, but I did all my schooling in Atlanta, and all my holidays in New York growing up. I relate most with New York but I have a very big place in my heart as a southern belle, so it’s a good mixture.

How did you become apart of the McDonald’s Dollar Van Campaign?

I got involved in the McDonalds commercial by doing a show called Dollar Van Demo’s which is produced by Joseph Rivet. I randomly saw it on You Tube and I contacted the producer and months later he got back to me we shot the whole dollar van demos with my song in Brooklyn. Two weeks later McDonalds called him about doing a dollar menu campaign.

How has this experience impacted your life?

It’s definitely helped me take the first step, it was a major stepping stone. A lot of people across the United States and across the world want to know about the new McDonalds chick.

What projects are you working on?

I’m not signed but I actually just dropped my first project called Moving Day which you can download on Myspace.com/JoyaBravo. My style is kind of like a revolution of sound; I think that music needs to be brought back to the music industry, to restore the true sprit of music.
