Host, Music FridayLive!
Joy Autumn is a composer, songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist from Olympia, WA. After gaining recognition in Los Angeles with original releases like Rainy Sunday and Midnight—which landed her on the 2019 first-round GRAMMY ballot—Joy toured extensively across the U.S., performing at SXSW and selling out Hollywood’s iconic Hotel Cafe. Her work has been featured in LA Weekly, Billboard, and other major publications.
During the pandemic, she returned to Washington, where she reconnected with her roots and expanded into composing for film, television, and interactive media. Now celebrated for her dual talents in film scoring and songwriting, Joy’s current projects include scoring Aline Andrade’s festival-winning feature Lucy Is Going to Hell and the indie video game Moonwarp. Her other works include scores for indie films like The Memory She Carries and Meet Meat, and she has also lent her voice to the TV series Tron: Uprising.
A classically trained composer and pianist, Joy enjoys exploring diverse styles, from classical to electronic. Her favorite film composer is Jerry Goldsmith.
