JOY OLADOKUN releases debut album IN DEFENSE OF MY OWN HAPPINESS

Emerging singer, songwriter, and musician Joy Oladokun’s highly anticipated major label debut album, in defense of my own happiness, has been released. We were lucky enough to catch Oladokum at Seattle’s Columbia City Theater with Wrabel late 2019. She was so amazing to hear and discover and if you haven’t yet, this is your chance.

With in defense of my own happiness, Oladokun is forging her own path, sharing the unique perspective she’s gained from living in today’s world as a black, queer woman and first-generation child of Nigerian immigrants. Born in Arizona and now living in Nashville, her musical exploration began at age ten when she was inspired to learn guitar after seeing a video of Tracy Chapman—the first time she’d ever seen a black woman play the instrument.
