about corinna joy
Corinna Joy is a Pennsylvania-born singer-songwriter known for her candid, confessional storytelling and a voice that PA Musician Magazine calls “sweet, soulful, and sometimes powerful.” Raised in Hershey and now rooted in Lancaster, she writes with an emotional honesty shaped by a lifetime at the piano, a few turns on the musical theater stage, and an early love for master songwriters like Billy Joel and Carole King.
A five-time nominee at the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards, including nods for Best Songwriter and Best Female Artist, Corinna was awarded Song of the Year at the inaugural CPMAs for her track “Time is Up.” Corinna's emotionally driven songwriting spans the seasons of her life and honors her diverse musical influences, from aching heartbreak ballads to cheeky indie pop critiques of the patriarchy; from sweeping orchestral tributes to her newborn son to bold, groove-filled girl-power anthems.
Her work has been featured by WITF Music, PA Musician Magazine, LNP + Lancaster Online, The River 97.3's Local Show, ABC27’s Good Day PA, and the PennLive Soundcheck. She has appeared on stages ranging from intimate piano bars to major festival platforms such as MusikFest and LAUNCH, and has supported artists including Jeffrey Gaines and Rhett Miller of Old 97’s.
Corinna Joy's music will resonate with fans of Sara Bareilles, Maggie Rogers, and Lake Street Dive—and with anyone who has loved the wrong person (or two) on the way to loving themselves.
