Mashonda's debut album ''[[January Joy]]'', produced by Beatz, [[Kanye West]], and [[Raphael Saadiq]], was released in November 2005 in Japan.

==Music career==
In 1998 Swizz Beatz—one of hip-hop's most influential beatmakers{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}--recognized Mashonda's talent and took her under his wing. She wrote the rap/RB songs <!-- and sung the choruses --> for her close friend rapper [[Eve (rapper)]]'s song "[[Ruff Ryders' First Lady|Gotta Man]]"; [[Jay-Z]]'s "[[Girl's Best Friend]]", and [[Mýa]] "[[The Best of Me (Mya song)]]" featuring [[Jay-Z]].


==Other ventures==
A full-length album, ''[[January Joy]]'', was eventually recorded.
