Joy Hanna

Crafting words and music from the early age of 11, Joy Hanna has inherently found her voice and expression through song. Joy was actively singing in churches, recording her original songs and touring until she graduated from Liberty University in 2013.

Joining the music staff at her home church in the metro DC area, Joy served as a worship leader for two years, during which she recorded her third full length album titled, Set Free, a compilation of songs written to raise awareness about the issue of modern day slavery and encourage victims of abuse with songs of hope and truth. Set Free released in March 2015 and has been distributed to domestic and global anti-trafficking organizations.

Joy and her husband currently live in Houston, Texas, where she continues to write songs and lead worship. Her fourth independently recorded album, Just You and Me, is a collection of songs chronicling her love story, that will be releasing September 2019. Inspired by legendary artists the Carpenters and James Taylor as well as contemporary artists like Sara Barielles and Ben Bector, these acoustic guitar and piano-driven pop tunes are expressed in both catchy anthems as well as delicate ballads with warm layers of strings, percussive elements and subtle flares of country music. With a refreshing innocence and yet maturity beyond her years, Joy explores the thrills, fears and ultimate longings for love that are universal to every human heart.
