The 23-year-old singer took the stage in front of her idols.

Some of my biggest inspirations were in the room, she said at the Grammy press room.

Beyonce, Lizzo, to name a few.

Joy first started singing jazz while in high school in the Bronx.

She hopes to return there and give a performance or start a foundation.

She got a record deal after a video of her covering Ella Fitzgeralds Take Love Easy went viral.

Her music continues to pop off on Tiktok.

One thing that sets Joy apart from her fellow New Artists is her reliance on jazz standards.

I love the music I grew up on, Joy said in the Grammy press room.

What drew me to jazz was the authenticity of it.

Congrats on your two authentic Grammys, girl.
