Joi Hailey

Texas-born and NW Raised, Joi grew up with a love for music at young age as she listened to her mom practice for worship rehearsals and looked forward to the day when she could join her mom on stage. As Joi entered High school, she was given the opportunity to sing at her home church at the time, New Song Community Church, where she led worship for the High School Gatherings and sung on the worship team for Sunday morning and evening services. As Joi continued on her music journey, she made the cut as a member of the Northwest Community Gospel Chorus, which performs annually at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall with the Oregon Symphony. Joi eventually became one of the featured soloists.

Upon graduating from Portland State University, Joi continued leading worship at various churches around the Portland Metro area with her husband, Daniel Hailey III, a Portland area session and stage drummer. Along with leading worship at churches in the area, Joi also sung at Jimmy Mack’s, the landmark Portland jazz club. While Joi continues to lead worship at various conferences, bible studies and churches, she serves on staff at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin as the Associate Worship Pastor. As a wife and a mother of two, Joi strives to worship God on and off the stage. She believes worship is more than just something we do on a Sunday morning, but something we do continually in our daily lives.
