About Me

Joy Crowers is a classically-trained singer with a Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance from West Chester University. She is a Singer/Songwriter/Producer and is in the process of recording her first album titled These Games. She is a published writer who first started writing poetry at the age of 9. She began composing and performing at 15 and went on to study music at the professional level at age 18, after passing very competive auditions at both Wilkes University and at 19, West Chester University. In 1998, she met her match in the brilliantly talented mind of pianist and songwriter, Brian Kelly and the two have been inseparable since, writing mind blowing music, unconventional progressions, and rendering passion and vulnerability as if they were puppets on strings. The songs of These Games are autobiographical and speak volumes of the mental "games" we play; with each other and with ourselves. When asked what she hope to accomplish with this album, Joy stated, "I want to heal people through music; to provide a venue where empathy and understanding prevail. I want to change the way people think about life, about love, about themselves. I want to redefine a whole culture of music; to create an entire genre of expression just so people can categorize me. I want to change the world."Current Projects:In the studio, working with the multi-talented producer DJ Slice, on debut album "These Games." Featured on the smokin' hit "Walkin Away" with the gorgeous diva Angela Gruver. Featured on the pure fire track "Catz" with the amazing Jet Phynx.

Influences: If you could combine Alanis Morissette's poignant lyrical genius with Sarah Brightman's deliriously exquisite voice, Beethoven's dark passion with Chopin's deliciously dissonant progressions, throw in some of Fiona Apple's smooth melancholy with Maya Angelo's poet beauty, and top it all off with Ani DiFranco's honest "in your face" ingenuity, you'd have everything I try to drive into every piece of music I give birth to. Holla! My musical influences are classical, r&b,soul, hip hop, rock, spoken word and pop. Like a big ole yummy melting pot, baby!
