JoyRukanza is one of Zimbabwe’s fastest-growing new school musicians. She displays a long history of learning, growth & upward trajectory in her expertise, knowledge, and experiences in the music industry. While a newcomer in the international music landscape, she is not a novice in the field.

Born and raised in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Joy Roselyn Rukanzakanza artistically known as JoyRukanza discovered her musical talent when she led her high school choir through regional competitions as the captain, and since then, she has never looked back. After graduating high school as the top-performing female student in her city, she received a national merit-based scholarship to study Law at the University of Zimbabwe where she spent two semesters before earning another merit scholarship to study at Bryn Mawr College in the United States. At Bryn Mawr, she graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies and an Africana Studies minor.

Post graduating, she started her career on Wall Street as a Technology Analyst in the asset management field. When she is not coding guidelines to prevent her clients from being fined by financial regulators, Joy is always looking for opportunities to network and grow in music.
