If you were to ask her in high school what she wanted to do with her life, she never would have mentioned music. Joyce says she always wanted to be in the WNBA and never thought she would be an artist.
“The WNBA was always it for me and then I thought, ‘Maybe this isn’t what I want to do,’” Joyce said. “It was hard to start over. There were no coaches recruiting me. Not too many people go to open mic nights trying to find talent, but anything is possible.”
Making the transition from basketball to music was difficult, but Joyce had learned from her days at OSU never to give up. It was the discipline Joyce learned on the court that she says has helped her to get her music career started.” - THE LANTERN

“A former Lady Buckeye who played under the name Kim Wilburn, Joyce was named the Big Ten Player of the Year for 2006 after leading the conference in steals three out of her
four years on the OSU team. She’s
just released a CD called Eleven that showcases her talent as an R&B singer.
Among its songs are “Welcome to My Club” and “Head Games,” which sound like they were produced by Lil Jon and Timbaland—to the point that they even take vocal samples from Jon and Tim. But the credits say Royal P and B-Banga. “Stripper Pole” pairs Joyce with former Ludacris affili- ate Shawnna.
While the album is polished and proves that Joyce can sing, it comes across as a simulated scrimmage designed to show how Joyce would sound if she were given the big-league opportunities of a Keshia Chante.” - THE OTHER PAPER
