Vance Joy Biography

Vance Joy, born James Keogh in Melbourne, is an Australian singer-songwriter recognized for his ukulele-driven indie-folk sound. Named after a character from Peter Carey's novel "Bliss," Joy developed an acoustic folk-pop style influenced by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Paul Kelly. Before pursuing music, he played for the Coburg Football Club in the Victorian Football League while studying law at Monash University. After a brief period in an indie band, Joy began performing solo at open mic nights across Melbourne.

Joy's debut EP, "God Loves You When You're Dancing," featured the single "Riptide," which achieved multi-platinum status and became a commercial success in Australia, North America, and Europe. "Riptide" set a record as the longest-charting song in ARIA Charts history and reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. The track also appeared on APRA AMCOS' The 1,000,000,000 List for surpassing one billion streams.

At the ARIA Music Awards, Joy received the Award for Best Male Artist. He has supported Taylor Swift on her "1989 World Tour" and headlined his own "Nation of Two" World Tour, performing at sold-out venues globally. Joy has released three studio albums and toured with artists such as Taylor Swift and P!nk. His music continues to resonate internationally, with "Riptide" maintaining a presence on the U.K.'s top 40 biggest songs chart.

Collaborating with producers including Dan Wilson and Joel Little, Joy recorded the album "In Our Own Sweet Time," which peaked at number three on the ARIA charts. He has worked with Noah Cyrus on "Everybody Needs Someone" and released "Live at Sydney Opera House." Joy's recent work includes collaborations with Shouse on "Wherever You Are" and solo singles such as "Divine Feelings" and "Fascination in the Dark." Throughout his career, Joy has sold millions of records, accumulated billions of streams, and built a reputation for energetic live performances at music festivals and arenas.
