Stevenskerk Live!
Joy Oladokun
Joy Oladokun is a skilled musician whose voice has an unprecedented fragility and authenticity. Joy released her masterpiece “Proof of Life” in 2023. On this album, Joy takes us into her world in which the sublime sound of her voice blends with the rich cornucopia of her unique experiences.
Collaborating with talented artists like Chris Stapleton and Noah Kahan, Joy Oladokun is able to weave the threads of her life’s story into the melodies that act as mantras for the soul. According to the review of the New York Times, her songs are honest discussions with the deepest parts of her soul.
On her most recent album “Observations From a Crowded Room” (2024), Joy has continued her development as a musician. This collection of 15 tracks embodies her growth as an artist and producer, combining her pop folk roots with electronic and psychedelic elements.
Joy Oladokun is a unique artist and her endearing live performances are proof of her immense talent. As a black homosexual artist and child of Nigerian immigrants of the first generation, Joy refuses to take the easy path. She shares her unique perspective with the world. She went out on tour with Hozier as a special guest and support artist. She made a lot of new friends and fans during that tour. Tonight, she will be the headliner on the opening night of Stevenskerk Live.
