Joyce had always had an endearment for music and hence started singing in the church at an early age of 14 and also made sure she never missed musical concerts held at her vicinity when she was young even when her mother tried to prevent her from attending these functions.

She was the youngest among them. She played for five years in addition to being a backing vocalist for the likes of Evangelist Diana Asamoah, Jewel Ackah, Mary Ghansah, Ernest Opoku Jnr, Aseibu Amanfi and other musicians in Ghana.
Joyce started ministry in 2007 with showbiz name Joyce Tuffuor and recorded her first album, dubbed “Obi Ntu Nyame Fo”, which translates to English as “Nobody Advises God”.
Joyce shot to fame in the year 2013 with a new showbiz name Joyce Blessing. She unleashed her song “Monko Moakyi”, a single from her Heavy Price album which has become one of her most popular songs. The album included other hits, such as Kantamanto Nyame, Blessed Be The Lord, and Nyame Aguamma. This was under the management of Media Excel Productions in collaboration with DaveJoy Productions.
