Joy Oladokun
Joy Oladokun does things their own way. Since relocating to Nashville from their native Arizona, Oladokun has released honest, insightful folk songs that celebrate their identity as a black, gender-nonconforming artist. Their music has struck a chord both in Nashville and outside it. For their 2024 album Observations From A Crowded Room, Oladokun collaborated with country music staples like Chris Stapleton alongside artists outside the genre, like rapper Maxo Kream and rock group Manchester Orchestra.
