Toya Lee is a ‘Goddess’

-

TOYA Lee is overjoyed at the response to her latest single Girls Night Out.

“The song has been added to rotation on several radio stations and it is very gratifying because I put a lot of effort into my EP, and Girls Night Out

is one of my favourite party tracks. It feels good to know that the industry is cheering for me,” she said.

Girls Night Out leads out her six-track EP Goddess, released on her birthday, January 2, this year. Other standout songs include Mine, Magic Stick, Into You, and Fantasy featuring Fire Wayne. The project is available on all major digital download platforms.

The producers who worked on the EP include Soulrock Collective, Johari Production­s, and ATM Entertainm­ent.

In the meantime, the dancehall starlet has continued to carve out a niche for herself with her distinctiv­e blend of pop-flavoured dancehall. She plans to release a number of videos for the EP this year.

Lee was raised between the Flanker and Bogue communitie­s in Montego Bay, Jamaica. She fell in love with music at six and by 12 her mom took her to her first studio session after hearing her belting out the first song that she had written.

Toya Lee attended Rusea’s High school briefly before migrating to live in the USA in her teens where she completed her college education.

However, music remained her first love.

In 2021 she released her first compilatio­n project dubbed Loud Box Riddim, which featured artistes like the legendary Sizzla Kalonji, Flexx from the Gully, Shemeika, Caano, Korexx, and Nino Brown.

Loud Box Riddim was released under her own imprint, Toya Lee Records imprint. This dual threat is planning to release a slew of new songs in the coming year, but for now she is focused solely on her music career.

“The response to my music has been so amazing online that it has definitely encouraged me to go harder in 2023, and I am coming to carve out my space in the music business,” she said.
