IAMJOY is an alt-pop musician based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By artfully blending ear catching guitar riffs and unwaveringly honest lyricism with candy coated synth loops; she’s able to convey the complexities of emotions we are often too afraid to acknowledge ourselves.

 

Her music confronts insecurity, the cyclical nature of relationships, and the anxiety of the human experience head on. As a byproduct of tackling these concepts without shame, IAMJOY’s catalogue becomes life-affirming; like sun light hitting your body after a night spent reminiscing, blinding and warm.

​

IAMJOY’s upcoming debut album “What Is Getting Home?” is the culmination of her reflections of a “failed” relationship. Narratively dissecting the feeling of doubt, falling in and out of love, and ultimately reconciling with the fact that two things can be true at once. 

​

On the heels of taking the stage at First Avenue, The Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Arlene’s Grocery in New York City, she is prepared to debut the new record at The Cedar Cultural Center on 10/3/2026. 

​

Backed by her jazz trained band, IAMJOY hopes everyone who experiences her show leaves with more love and hope than when they arrived. She strives to remind the audience that they are not alone, enourages them to find the joy in heartache and suffering, and promises to give them a show they will remember long after attending.
