Joy Villa is an award-winning actress, screenwriter, recording artist, filmmaker, and advocate whose fearless voice and powerhouse performances have captivated global audiences. Known for her breakout Billboard #1 album I Make the Static and viral red carpet moments, Joy has starred in acclaimed films like The Contrast (Amazon Prime) and the faith-based holiday hit Pastor Sue Saves Christmas, which won Best Film at NRB and earned her the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hard Faith Film Festival, along with a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the International Christian Film Festival.
