Joya is a charismatic Hong Kong-born artist, singer-songwriter, and public speaker creating introspective, confessional indie pop that lives in the emotional in-betweens. Her songs have been described as “honey for the soul” and “diary entries,” weaving intimacy, wit, and honesty into music that feels like your own story told by a friend.

A Spotify RADAR and EQUAL Artist, Joya’s sophomore Afterglow EP earned over 260K streams in its first month, paired with a sold-out Soho House Hong Kong launch. Since making her UK debut in 2025, she has performed to new audiences in London, with a national radio debut on a major UK station scheduled for December 2025. Her music has also been playlisted in retail spaces regionally across the UK and Scotland.

Previous notable performances include PizzaExpress Live Soho (London), The Jago (Dalston), Soho House Hong Kong, Magic 89.9 (Manila), Club Bbang (Seoul), Music Matters Festival (Singapore), the Gay Games Closing Ceremony (Hong Kong), and the AXA x Wonderland Main Stage at PhoenixFest. She has also hosted and performed for Today at Apple at Hong Kong’s first-ever Pride event, and MC’d multiple community and music events in Hong Kong.

Her work has been featured in SCMP, Tatler, TimeOut, MTV Asia, MixMag Asia, and more, alongside collaborations with brands such as Design Trust, National Geographic, Apple, Polaroid, and Aesop. Beyond music, Joya is openly queer and a proud third-culture creative whose work champions inclusion, diversity, and connection. Whether on stage or off, she believes in music as a bridge - a way to reflect back what’s true, soft, strong, and sometimes unsaid.
