JOY RUSHING admits to being blessed as a natural in music; having inherited similar dulcet tones and vocal range as her mother, who has an operatic voice. Her Dad and Mom made sure she had the training her talent deserved. Youthful membership in and the discipline of performing with Joy's home church choir; including award winning tours gave her a sound basis for her vocal abilities. In junior high and high school; plays, shows and dramatic clubs were the foundation for the parallel career as an actress. She would lullaby babies in the neighborhood to sleep. Joy has pageant awards to show for her additional hard work in entertainment. Born in Chicago and raised in Pine Bluff, Arkansas Joy migrated to Texas for her college years and began to pursue a career in fashion as a personal shopper for women who enjoy the luxuries of stores like Sak's and Bloomie's. Meeting Miss Rushing or seeing her perform for the first time will forever leave you convinced that her sense of couture is still there as a high personal style. Joy felt she was drowning on dry land. So...a decade ago, Rushing let her high end, rag biz day jobs transport her to the major entertainment center of the Big Apple. She started to get some country club gigs there due to her door knocking persistence and knowing the quality she represents. Could California be far behind? Nope! More dues to be paid by Joy; stylizing Palos Verdes women and hostessing in a popular seafood eatery and night spot in Redondo Beach. Along the way, Joy Rushing landed as an on camera extra in the film Rock Star. (When you see her, ask, she'll tell you right where to freeze frame your video.) Joy is not just a name but the attitude that permeates this woman's persona. Even relating the rough spots in her career is with a smile on her face and a gracious tone.
