Brit award nominee Joy shot to fame with her top five debut album, 'Skin' which gave us the absolute belters ‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now’ and ‘When You Were Mine.’ Now as Joy prepares for release album two we take a look back at her journey from growing up in South London doing Irish Dancing for a Happy Meal - that’s our gal - to picking up an Argos guitar and finding her way to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. There is so much to take away from this chat, especially Joy’s points around shame but what I found so refreshing about this episode is how honest Joy is about how finding love made her really reflect on herself and started a mental health crisis. This really spoke to me because it isn’t always a honeymoon period when you are truly seen by someone for the first time but it’s so worth it in the end, babes! If you loved this conversation with Joy as much as I did please get in touch - I love a great chat! You can get me on @joshsmithhosts and come back next week for another episode of 'Reign'!
