Stefanie Joyce

Stefanie Joyce is Nashville’s best-kept secret. With over 20M+ streams in songwriting credits, a dedicated fanbase of 100K+ followers, and over 1M streams on her own singles, she is already making a name for herself as a songwriter and performer.

But this isn’t about numbers. Stefanie is a true artist—a storyteller shaped by her struggles with addiction and mental health, a creator with a diverse background in film and dance, and a singer who brings a hard-earned, sensuous truth to every performance. Now, after years of writing for other artists, Stefanie is stepping into the spotlight with her debut full-length album, "Friend in the Dark."

Produced by Grammy-winner Gary Nichols (Steeldrivers) and Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra), the album merges the lyrical depth of country with the expansive sound of indie pop. Imagine the storytelling of Jason Isbell and Johnny Cash filtered through the cinematic lens of Lana Del Rey and David Lynch. It’s Patsy Cline meets Quentin Tarantino—dramatic, emotional, and darkly beautiful.

The title track, "Friend in the Dark," is a haunting anthem for anyone who knows what it’s like to go through hell. Stefanie’s message is simple: darkness is inevitable, but no one should walk through it alone.

Influenced by contemporary artists like Lana Del Rey, Stephen Sanchez, Harry Styles, Kacey Musgraves, Matt Maeson, Stephen Wilson Jr, and Father John Misty, Stefanie’s genre-blending sound sits comfortably between country and indie pop. Her live shows blend vulnerability and energy, captivating audiences.

With a devoted fanbase and a year of touring under her belt, Stefanie is poised for a major breakthrough with this record; not just in the Americana niche, but in the global pop market as well.
