Bethany Joy is a singer-songwriter from Cleveland, OH whose music blends intimate storytelling with lush, groove-driven arrangements. Drawing from influences like Julia Jacklin and Lianne La Havas, she creates a sound that moves fluidly between raw emotional indie rock and smooth, expressive jazz.

Her debut EP All We Really Want (2021) introduced her reflective songwriting, while her first full-length album PLANET (2022) expanded her sonic world with deeper textures and bolder arrangements. Now, with her latest record Slow Burn (2025), marks her most expressive and immersive work yet — exploring themes of childhood, desire, existential dread and slow transformation.

Her music is honest, textured, and deeply emotive, offering listeners a warm, immersive space to feel and reflect.
