Joy Yoon is a Korean-American singer-songwriter artist from Austin, Texas. Joy, coming from a classical composition background, was acknowledged as an award-winning young composer at the 2015 Austin Symphony Orchestra Young Composers Competition. While studying at The University of Texas at Austin, she discovered her passion for writing indie/R&B pieces along with coming up with her own lyrics. She decided to move to Boston, Massachusetts to pursue a degree in songwriting at Berklee College of Music, along with taking courses in music business and production.
