Martha Joy (Born Martha Joy Lim-Fiuza on December 8, 1990 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Singer, Recording Artist and Host in the Philippines.
Martha was born in 1990 in Toronto, Ontario of mixed Filipino and Portuguese parentage. She started singing almost as soon as she learned to speak. Her mother recognized her gift and sought the best available vocal coached in Toronto to ensure the proper development of her voice. Those years of formal training gave her not only the capacity to sing with ease but also the stamina required in a singing career. At her first solo concert in November 2007, Martha Joy sang 22 powerhouse songs at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. She currently specializes in classical crossover, R&B, and pop music.
Martha Joy started winning trophies in singing competitions as a child. These include six First-place awards in the Kiwanis Music Festival. She has also performed in countless events in and outside Toronto. Among those she is most proud of are her solo performances before the United nations Global Peace Initiative in Geneva, Switzerland; The Mike Bullard Show on CTV; and of the singing of the Canadian national anthem for the Toronto Raptors game at the Air Canada Centre. Martha was only 11 years old when she wowed the 50 or so judges at the September 2003 Best New Talent Awards in L.A. at the Century Plaza Hotel. Out of hundreds of contestants, she won two separate categories: Best Contemporary Pop singer, and Best Child Broadway performer.
In 2007, Martha Joy auditioned in Canada's most watched reality TV show, Canadian Idol, and she was the youngest contestant to make it to the Top Ten Finals at the age of 16. Although Martha Joy has many previous achievements to boost her credit, it was her success in the show that opened the door for her to seriously pursue a career in the music industry. In fact, in February 2008, she signed an exclusive recording contract with the entertainment company, Viva Records. In February 2009, her debut album, titled Martha Joy was released.
