She uses her music and voice to spread love and light and is on a mission to heal, unite, and illuminate the world with words and melodies. Industry greats have been quoted as describing Journii’s music as heartfelt, soulful and Grammy worthy. In 2009 Journii’s assent to notoriety would move her to Los Angeles, California after receiving a scholarship to attend the Musicians Institute. It was there that Journii met Grammy Award winning record producer and audio engineer Darryl Swann (noted for his work with Macy Grey, Rick Rubin, Black Eyed Peas, and Red Hot Chili Peppers among others) who took her under his wing and assisted in furthering the development of her craft.
Her enormous talent and active potential did not render her immune to the tricky side of the music business, but it empowered her to navigate through it with style. In 2012, after walking away from a record deal, Journii opened her own entertainment company, Journii Walker Music and released her debut single “Scared” independently, which garnered an impressive social media following and led to her being approached by about a publishing deal by former Def Jam Senior Vice President of A&R Max Gousse, who deemed Journii “ the future of music.” She has consistently shown that she has the talent, heart, and drive to simply not be stopped; a fact further driven home when Alic “Paco” Walls from the Grammy nominated and Stellar Award winning Gospel group “The Walls Group” and 3x Grammy nominated songwriter (and indie artist) Kenyon Dixon took it upon themselves to do their own cover of Journii’s song “Scared.”

Journii is an artist advocate who's called on by many start up companies, and corporations to assist them with task such as: creative writing, songwriting, website design, business administration, accounting, music management, marketing, talent buying, contract negotiation, and more.
Her educational background includes training from Full Sail University with an emphasis in music business & music production, training from Musicians Institute with an emphasis in commercial voice performance, training from Richland College with an emphasis in classical voice performance and accounting, and training from Western Governors University with an emphasis in Accounting & Marketing. She is currently working toward her Certified Public Accounting License.
