Kincardine singer-songwriter Jennifer Joyce has made it to the Top 50 in the RadioStar Supernova National Talent Search contest.

Thanks to the support of her fans, friends, family and the community, she has moved on to the next step in the competition.

This month, all 50 of the finalists will be judged by the industry professionals who will select regional winners, runners-up and the national grand prize winner, said Joyce. The winners will be announced March 1.

Joyce, 34, has lived in Kincardine for the past five years and goes by the artist name "Embolden." She writes and sings her own songs and recently collaborated with Jamie Aplin (Thousand Foot Krutch) at his studio in Owen Sound to write five songs for her album, "Interruptions."

She entered the National Talent Search in December, 2011, and people were able to vote for her on-line at  www.radiostar.supernova.com until Jan. 16, 2012. Anyone can still visit that website and find out which artists made it to the Top 50.

The national grand prize winner of the RadioStar Supernova contest receives $10,000 cash plus studio time, equipment and exposure to play live at Music Week in Toronto in March, 2012. The runner-up receives $2,500 cash and studio time and equipment. There are also regional prizes of musical equipment.

Born and raised in Sarnia, Joyce had three primary interests in life: music, martial arts and dance. Thirteen years of her life was spent training and teaching martial art which she loved. 

 

"The past 10 years, I've focused more on dance, singing and writing songs," she says. "Recently, Jamie Aplin agreed to co-write and produce my first professional album, 'Interruptions,' at the Drove Studio in Owen Sound. It was an amazing experience. There is nothing like creating material with other people who also have a passion and desire for the same things in life, especially music. I still continue to write in melody and word in hopes of collaborating again with great people who share a common heart."

Joyce moved to Kincardine with her husband who works at Bruce Power. She is currently working at the Kincardine Vet Clinic.
