2. What motivates Joy?

When asked what gives her positive motivation, Joy replied in a way that was wise beyond her years. She explained that “motivations can’t be positive every time.”

She then continued by saying that while motivation can tire her out, she tries to turn it around by changing her perspective.

Joy’s recent debut mini-album, “Hello” was full of covers of rock and R&B songs from the lates 1990’s and early 2000’s and it seems that Joy is doing more than just performing those songs.
