She adds “Poison is a song I wrote about a relationship that I loved being in, but in the end we both knew that we weren't bringing out the best in each other. I think one of the hardest lessons that I've had to learn in love, is that sometimes the most loving thing you can do for someone (and for yourself) is let them go.”

Her debut album, ‘Carry’ ranges from a stripped confessional ballad about being brave enough to leave a lover, to an electrifying rock number that will take you back to 1975. Her eclectic style doesn't take away from her mature and authentic lyricism, however. When Joy writes and sings, you hear the voice of someone who has lived the song and is willing to re-live it again and again everytime she performs it.

The LA-based singer/songwriter who combines the sounds of roots rock, with folk songwriting and a voice that oozes with soul and honesty. Writing and playing the guitar from the age of 10, Joy has always used music as a way to make sense of the struggles and celebrate the triumph of life. In 2015, Joy self-produced and released her debut EP titled “Cathedrals”, still available online.

Joy will embark on a worldwide tour later this year to support her new material.
