Today JOY. announces tour support for her upcoming shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Added to the line-up is alternative act Blessed and rising enigmatic artist Anfa Rose. Together with JOY. they make up creative collective, The Formula. Coinciding with this announcement, JOY’S EP SIX is currently available HERE.
SIX is produced by JOY. in collaboration with Khaled Rohaim (Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Ty Dolla $ign), including the first track released ‘Smoke Too Much’, which was the culmination of countless writing and recording sessions with a creative team comprised of Dream Big luminaries Dopamine, Manu Crook$, Anfa Rose, and Miracle.
“We work really well as a collective together and they inspire me and push me creatively,” she says.
JOY’S production has also graced tracks of the likes of the previously mentioned artists Manu Crook$, Anfa Rose.
Recently JOY. revealed the video to her ethereal track ‘Change’. The video was directed and produced by JOY. alongside co-director Julian Machuca (Manu Crook$ and Blessed.) and co-producers Anfa Rose & Kyra Urquhart. JOY. explains,
“This video is visual companion to ‘Change’ its aesthetic is organic and raw.”
In 2017 JOY. hit the road with US superstar Kehlani on her August Australian tour. JOY. performed her lead single from the EP ‘Smoke Too Much’ for the very first time. Following the release of ODE, JOY completed a sold-out Australian tour and also performed at festivals such as Vivid Sydney’s inaugural one-day music festival Curve Ball, and the annual electronic festival Listen Out.
JOY. is a twenty year-old producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who crafts ethereal and introspective electronic-pop songs anchored by sultry, hypnotic vocals, incisive song writing and a keen focus on production.

JOY. gave the first taste of the EP and her new music in November of 2017 with the triple j favourite ‘Smoke Too Much’ which has accumulated over 3 Million streams to date and also gained support from Zane Lowe on Beats 1. In her relatively short run, the ambitious multihyphenate has graduated from solo bedroom recordings, including her debut single
‘Captured’, to her acclaimed debut EP, ODE, which landed #1 on the iTunes electronic charts in mid-2015 and has been streamed over 5 million times to date. Additionally, JOY. has garnered strong support from influential tastemakers by the likes of Nylon magazine, which proclaimed,
“JOY. could be Australia’s next great pop export”,
and Beats1 creative center Zane Lowe, who earmarked JOY. as ‘One to Watch’ at 2015’s Beats Sound Symposium in Sydney.
