Born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in Byhalia, Mississippi, Iesha Thomas, professionally known as IESYA (aka Novalife), is a recording artist whose music blends R&B, Pop, and Soul into a sound that is both timeless and emotionally compelling.
Raised in a large blended family as one of twelve siblings, IESYA developed resilience, determination, and a deep appreciation for education from an early age. A graduate of Byhalia High School, she earned her nursing degree in 2017 and is a registered nurse, devoted mother of three, and future nurse practitioner.
Inspired by artists such as Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, and Jazmine Sullivan, IESYA captivates audiences with powerful vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and an engaging stage presence. Through her music, she is building a legacy that extends beyond entertainment—one that inspires others, breaks generational barriers, and celebrates the strength and diversity of women.
For IESYA, every song is more than a performance—it's an invitation to persevere, heal, and believe that your story matters.
