Allysha Joy

Australian artist Allysha Joy makes her Portugal debut at Matosinhos em Jazz on July 19, at 6 PM, performing at the Jardim Basílio Teles. A composer, poet, and instrumentalist, she presents a repertoire that blends jazz, neo-soul, hip-hop, and post-punk influences. In 2024, she released the album The Making of Silk, preceded by the single “Nothing to Prove”, where she explores the relationship between poetic text and electronic composition. Her work has been mentioned by figures such as Jamie Cullum, Gilles Peterson, and Jamz Supernova, and featured by platforms like the BBC, KEXP, NTS, OkayPlayer, and Dazed. On stage, she combines vocals, keyboards, and spoken word with open structures and elements of improvisation.
