Joy’s Quintet

Genesis Valentine | Drums Guillermo Landaker | Bass William Bohrer | Guitar Jackson Clawson | Keys Joy Dawn Hackett | Vocals From Santa Clara, California, joy combines her background of jazz piano and love of pop music to create a refreshing take on modern music, pushing the genres forward. Her songs capture vivid emotions as diary entries to her coming of age story. Underscored by hearty production in neosoul tradition, Joy explores themes of life, love, and pursuit of dreams with every vowel. Her debut at Mr. Tipples is a reflection on her musical story. The renowned bay area venue becomes a humbling opportunity for Joy to reflect on her major influences (James Fauntleroy, Hiatus Kaiyote, Stevie Wonder) and connect them to her recent projects in the traditional format she was built from.
