On April 4, 2004, Enriquez married record producer Rodney Jerkins, who had worked on her debut album. Their first child is Rodney David Jerkins Jr. Their second child is daughter Heavenly Joy Jerkins.[1] Their third child is Hannah Joy Jerkins,[2] followed by their fourth, Royal David Jerkins.[citation needed]
After almost completing a follow-up album in the same Pop/R&B vein as her debut, which would have featured the leaked track "It's So Funny", a collaboration with Mase, Joy had a change of heart about the musical direction she wished to pursue. She decided that her next release should be an inspirational/contemporary Christian music record. The ensuing album, Atmosphere of Heaven, was released on March 7, 2006 on the independent label JoyfulChild, which was formed by Jerkins and Enriquez.
In 2010, she wrote the track "Boom Chika Boom" for the Our Family Wedding soundtrack, and performed/wrote the song "Beatz Be Rockin'" for the Nickelodeon iCarly series.
She contributed songs to the Lifetime series Dance Moms in 2012 with the track "Light My Fire" getting a separate digital single release.[3]
In 2013, her reality series House of Joy premiered on the NUVOtv network on July 18, 2013.[4] After each episode, a new digital single would be released on digital services. These eight songs, along with the theme song, were released on an EP, House of Joy, on September 10, 2013.[5]
In 2015, she released two digital singles: "Hallelujah" featuring Lindsey Stirling[6] and "Shine" featuring her daughter Heavenly Joy.[7] Her third studio album The Call was released on January 15, 2016.[8]
