Joy Crookes

Joy Crookes is one of the UK's most exquisite new talent. Her songs effortlessly capture the trials and tribulations of life. Born and raised in Elephant and Castle, Joy’s musical journey is still just beginning but she’s already garnering Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill comparisons.

The daughter of a Bengali mother and an Irish father, she grew up listening to an eclectic mix of genres – everything from Nick Cave, to King Tubby, Kendrick Lamar and Gregory Isaac and as a result she's curious, passionate and music obsessed. Joy’s voice treads that beautifully fine line of sounding fragile and vulnerable, but also somehow finding strength to move forward.
