Jozy has been performing their music with a live band since 2015, and has been releasing music since 2017 with their first self titled studio album “Jozy”. Since 2017 Jozy has released two more full length albums, (“Ladystough” and “The Next Phase”) a handful of singles, and a few EPs. As well as featuring on many collaboration tracks with other artists. A song from their first album, “To Let Go”, was selected for placement in a feature film in 2019, “Five Feet Apart” produced by CBS Films. They attended Nimbus School of the Recording Arts and media straight out of high-school with the intention of furthering their ability to document and create their own music.

In 2019 they opened for Snotty Nose Rez Kids at the Waverley Hotel and Pub.
