Joy Autumn Joy Autumn is a singer/songwriter and composer from Los Angeles. She discovered her love for writing songs at the age of five, making up lyrics while playing and recording piano parts on an old cassette recorder in her hometown of Olympia, WA. The Olympia native gave out cassettes as a young child to cheer up friends and family. Her experiences in a chamber group in her early 20’s led to her writing pop/rock tunes in the chamber style and discovering a new writing voice she hadn’t known she possessed. In 2010, she self-produced and released her first EP, Scarlett in Seattle. In it she delivers a sort of reserved pop that calls on her baroque background for inspiration, allowing melodies and movement to take the fore instead of electronics and percussion. Scarlett reviewed as "a breath of fresh air, a highly enjoyable side-trip". After Scarlett's release, she moved to Los Angeles to develop her talents. She collaborated with Joseph Trapanese (Daft Punk, M83) on their orchestral release entitled “Don’t Cry.” It was during this time that she began penning a whimsical collection of songs about love, heartbreak, and Hollywood. Her album “Sunny Lemonade” was released independently on April 5, 2016. The album was produced by Grammy winner Sheldon Gomberg (Ben Harper) and is a poignant collection of songs that radiate compassion, love, forgiveness, and deep internal strength as she sings about love, heartbreak and Hollywood. She explores her own very unusual and alluring style of singing that falls in the singer/ songwriter tradition. Her music has been compared to artists such as Regina Spektor, with both featuring "similar instruments, pleasant vocals, and lyrical subjects"
