NOT JUST A SINGER...

Canadian singer, songwriter, producer Joy Enyonam Phillips, emerges as artist ‘Enyonam’ (pronounced as En-yow-nam).

The name ‘Enyonam’ originates from the Ewe language, spoken by the Ghanaian tribe of her father and ancestors. In English it means “good for me.” To the artist, it represents the positivity and resilience she has long demonstrated and embodies her intersecting identities as a Black, female artist living with a disability (the autoimmune disease, Lupus).

Rising from the vibrant Toronto music scene, ‘Enyonam’ is influenced by artists like H.E.R., Olivia Dean and Sabrina Claudio. Her style boasts contemporary pop/R&B, overflowing with sultry-jazz undertones.

The need for innovation and diffusion submerges them into an active search within trio repertoire, ranging from the traditional to the contemporary, having special interest in current composers, the little performed and the less known repertoire. Ruiz Miró trio is a set where difficulty and complexity does not imply limits or preconceptions.
 
The wide experience of their members can be clearly seen as they have been played at different chamber ensembles, solo and orchestra at important stages around the world.
