Show notes

The Grammy-award winning artist, half of the Mexican sibling pop duo Jesse & Joy, is taking on a new role: as co-composer and lyricist for the Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves. Joy shares how music “literally saved her life,” the complexity of being raised by a machismo father who wanted her to be independent, and reflects on the curves life has thrown her way (early professional success, a wife, two babies, and now, a chance to be the first Mexican composer of a Broadway show in over 40 years!).
