Fantasia and Joe

Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum singer Fantasia is set to perform live with special guest Joe on Friday, April 7 at Legacy Arena at the BJCC.  The North Carolina native Fantasia broke on to the scene in 2004 as the season three winner of Fox’s “American Idol.” Later that year, she released her platinum-selling debut album Free Yourself and became the first artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart to debut at #1 with her first single, “I Believe.” Fantasia’s 2006 eponymous second album featured the #1 R&B single, “When I See U,” and reached gold status. In 2007, Fantasia landed the coveted role of Celie in Broadway’s The Color Purple for which she won a Theater World Award.  

Joining Fantasia as a special guest, Joe is an R&B singer-songwriter and record producer who rose to prominence with his debut album “Everything” and the international bestseller “My Name is Joe.”  Joe had a number-one hit with “Stutter,” and additional top ten entries with “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do)”, “Don’t Wanna be a Player,” and “I Wanna Know.”
