Joy Oladokun, born in 1992 and rooted in Arizona, writes songs that cross folk, R&B, rock and pop without asking permission, and her music draws deeply on her life as a queer person of color. It's music with an acoustic heart and a wide-open view, the kind that sounds intimate even when the arrangement swells.
She started with Carry in 2016, then In Defense of My Own Happiness (The Beginnings) in 2020 and In Defense of My Own Happiness in 2021. Proof of Life followed in 2023, and "We're All Gonna Die" got her onto rock radio countdowns with a title that sounds grim and a tune that sounds anything but. In 2024 came Observations from a Crowded Room, her fifth album, and "I'd Miss the Birds" kept her voice on the air: gentle, clear-eyed and quietly defiant.
