Joy Askew is a musician, singer, composer and animal lover! Arriving in New York from London, Askew was following her dream of a big career as a musician. She was the proud owner of a cutting edge new keyboard the Prophet V synthesizer and a Fender Rhodes piano. Very soon she found herself singing and playing on a long and successful world tour with Joe Jackson in support of his hit "Stepping Out".

The following 12 years she played and sang on tours and albums with Laurie Anderson, Joe Jackson, Phoebe Snow, Rodney Crowell and Peter Gabriel, also appearing in Laurie Anderson’s movie “Home of the Brave”.

During this time Joy began working with her own band writing songs and developing a sound. Her songs have been featured in some movies, most notably “Peaceable Kingdom The Journey Home” and have been picked up for publishing by Warner Chappell & Quincy Jones.

Flash forward to today.

Joy is still living in NY and is as passionate about making music as she’s ever been. Queen Victoria is her 8th full length record.
