Melanie Martinez's creative drive and talents have always distinguished her from other musicians. After releasing her platinum-certified 2015 debut album, Cry Baby—which reached No. 1 on Billboard's alternative albums chart and has amassed over two billion streams worldwide —she conceived and directed a video for each song on the album. These mini-movies traced the traumas and insecurities experienced by the album's character, Cry Baby.
 
Melanie’s sophomore album and film, K-12, is another ambitious triumph. K-12's music is a vibrant and singular melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro. K-12's universe is an expansion of the one introduced in Cry Baby. Using lyrics rich with metaphor, songs address the struggle to find a place to belong—including within friendships, the physical world and romantically—even when fitting into society feels like an uphill battle.
 
To accompany the album, Martinez wrote and directed a 90-minute movie (also called K-12) that incorporates the album's music and mirrors the themes and characters introduced. Filmed on location in Budapest, Hungary, the movie focuses on Cry Baby (portrayed by Martinez) and a class of students who find themselves trapped in a horror house-like residential school. As they experience the usual grade school rites of passage—a lunch room food fight, the embarrassment of gym class, a romance with nefarious intentions, courses taught by checked-out teachers— they have to figure out a way to escape.

Formerly known as Jasmine Janai, the Phoenix-born, Atlanta-based singer, songwriter, and musician now emerges as Joy Léone - a name formed from her parents' first names, symbolizing love, heritage, and a return to self. The shift isn't cosmetic; it reflects a deeper transformation, a reconciliation between who she was and who she's becoming.

Joy's artistry is grounded in soul and self-reflection. She blends warm R&B textures with introspective songwriting, pairing smooth vocal phrasing with emotional candor. A natural storyteller, she explores themes of faith, identity, healing, and feminine power with honesty and depth.

On stage, Joy has become a fixture in Atlanta's live scene, performing at cornerstone venues including Masquerade, Tabernacle, Bonfire ATL, and Aisle 5, where she headlined her own sold-out show. Her performances are immersive - part confession, part communion - inviting audiences to feel rather than simply listen.

For Joy Léone, becoming isn't a destination; it's a continual return to truth. Through her music, she reminds listeners that healing is not a finish line but a rhythm, a practice, and a way of moving through the world.
