She writes the most incredible lyrics to accompany the music.

[@MoPoppins]

Beautiful, vulnerable storytelling.

[@JoyOladokun]

Thank you. To me, the story is the most important part of the song.

[@MoPoppins]

I'm not a feeler by nature, but your performance definitely moved me--it's inevitable when I'm witnessing authentic emotions. Great job. :)

[@AdrianBellVoiceovers]

Saw her last week, and you have no idea. Powerful!

[@chadirahmouni8195]

Very nice , she reminds me of Tracy chapman

[@JoyOladokun]

Tracy Chapman is the reason I started playing the guitar in the first place. Thank you!!!

This is what I thought she has her very own distinct soul in her sound but also an amazing story teller the way it works together ❤️❤️❤️ it’s incredible I think joy has an amazing future ahead of her

[@sharonpeppers3341]

Nashville is right next door. You are close enough. I'm they will love your music there as much as we do elsewhere. Good music is good music. Transcends time and locale.

[@esthefannesilvasantos944]

Memphis Você vai me ligar de manhã? Porque eu notei o olhar em seus olhos Quando nossas mãos se tocaram, nos olhando como boxeadores Lutando por prêmios de campeonato Eu estava apenas procurando diversão Eu nunca pensei que encontraria E voltarei às rotina de trabalho amanhã Os tempos são difíceis e as contas são profundas Eu mal consigo me virar, não posso cuidar de você, então Oh, eu sei que nós tivemos uma boa jornada Mas não há pressão para seguir Alguns nunca cruzam o oceano Eu só fiquei descalça na praia Eu nunca estive em Memphis Mas eu juro que irei algum dia E se eu, se estou sendo honesta Eu nunca estive apaixonada antes Eu só tenho perseguido sombras Rezando para que espere por mim Você não vai me ligar de manhã Tudo bem, querido, não é surpresa Além disso, ouvi dizer que você tem uma garota em casa Ela deve ter deslizado da sua mente, bem Nós estávamos fora nos divertindo E essas coisas sempre acontecem sem aviso pela manhã Sempre a faísca, nunca a chama Alguns nunca cruzam o oceano Eu só fiquei descalça na praia Eu nunca estive em Memphis Mas eu juro que irei algum dia E se eu, se estou sendo honesta Eu nunca estive apaixonada antes Eu só tenho perseguido sombras Rezando para que espere por mim E eu posso ficar sozinha um pouco mais se isso significar Que o amor está subindo como o amanhecer para brilhar em mim Eu estou correndo, a vida não é tão longa quanto parece Não vai esperar por mim Eu vou atravessar o oceano E nadar até eu perder a costa de vista Eu nunca estive em Memphis Mas estou a caminho E estou apenas sendo honesta Mas eu nunca estive apaixonada antes E eu vi suas sombras Sim, eu vi sua sombra Oh eu vi suas sombras Rezando para que espere por mim

[@MCSharQ]

Beautiful !!! Can you feel the conviction???? Joy sings with deep deep feelings. The videos are great but listening to her sing I can feel the words, can feel the power she puts into every lyric. Can you relate?? There is always something in her songs that I can relate to. Some songs you can really feel the pain. I take my feelings and put them to paper. I think Joy does the same. I like taking feelings and turning them into something creative. It's been years since I've done this. I would like to share some of my lyric writings with Joy. I'm good with writing but not with putting music to them. Does anyone know how to contact Joy?
