Join Joie Kathos for a high-vibrational evening of power, passion, purpose, and performance. The West Philly native has dedicated over 20+ years to expanding cultural arts & movement education in Philadelphia. A full-time recording artist, movement educator, dancer, musician & visual artist, Kathos is bringing high vibrational energy, transparency & authenticity to the Commonwealth Plaza.
After graduating from The Philadelphia High School for Creative & Performing Arts in 2010, Kathos built a reputation for boldly addressing conscious issues in the midst of entertaining diverse crowds in some of Philly’s most historical venues (TLA Philly, The Legendary Dobbs, Silk City, The Electric Factory, The MET Philly).
Her vulnerability in sharing the struggles of growing up queer, Afro-Indigenous, and multifaceted makes her performances feel more like an intimate evening of storytelling, rather than just a show. And what’s Night Life in Philly without a little brotherly/sisterly love?
Joie Kathos will be joined by her talented group of friends, including DJ G33k, Jacqueline Constance, Black Canvas, and extremely special guests.
Joie Kathos is dedicated to pushing boundaries for creatives of all focuses, ages, genders, ethnicities, genres, and styles, by aligning newly aspiring artists with their passion. With over 20 years of experience in creative and performing arts, Jordan Shannon created an identity, style, and lifestyle moniker to transcend physicality and embrace the ideology of freedom. The goal is to build an uplifting creative community to help young people transmute their energy and talents through music, dance, writing, drawing, and self-expression. When working with Joie Kathos, each project, performance, event, class, and overall experience is curated from the soul and developed with the artist's artist in mind.
"Joie Kathos is an exceptional talent whose approach to music is refreshing yet nostalgic. She represents everything great about the culture,”-BE’N Original, Urban Magazine
