about:
Joyce Mercedes: extraverted – sensual – feeling – identifying
She is a very ambitious, hard working, charming and, not to forget, beautiful woman. Her ideas and her love for new experiences show her distinctive character. As needed for a Djane, she loves to be the centre of attention. This combined to her special ability to have a lot of fun, makes her shows always inimitable. She loves to see the crowd partying and to make them happy.
Not only her shows are unforgettable, she is as well. When you meet her, the first thing you recognize is her passion for beauty. But she is everything else than superficial, her character is a good mixture of being open-minded, spontaneous, optimistic and a perfectionist. In addition has to be said that she is very kind-hearted, but it is very hard for her to work with pessimists and unfriendly people.

Because of her past experiences and her life, is Joyce Mercedes a woman who lives in the here-and-now, as well as she believes life consists of possibilities for everyone and you just have to take them.
