We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Joy Hanna. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Joy below.

Hi Joy, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

Songwriting is something you have to start doing because you’re inspired but then to progress you have to train that creative muscle. I took a ton of lessons growing up- music theory, piano, guitar and songwriting. Being able to play instruments has been hugely helpful in crafting songs and melodies. Books and creative writing exercises have helped to hone the lyrics side of songwriting.

Joy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I write songs with artists in the country and pop music genre. A good friend and super talented artist, Madeline Edwards, has recorded a few of the songs we’ve written together and one of them, “The Road” has over 7.5M streams on Spotify!

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

I love the podcast “And The Writer Is” and wish I knew about it sooner! It is an interview style podcast with songwriters that always inspires me and encourages me to keep writing!

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I hope to be on a publishing roster and write a hit song one day!
