Joy Oladokun

JOY OLADOKUN was 10 years old when she saw a video of Tracy Chapman singing and playing guitar, inspiring her to do the same. "Seeing a black woman playing folk music and owning it brought something to life in me,” Joy told Ladygunn magazine. An Arizona native of Nigerian descent, Joy combines the sounds of roots rock and folk songwriting with a pop voice. Currently living in Nashville, Joy describes her artist project as an "internal struggle between loving Stevie Nicks and Aretha Franklin."
