Born to a Japanese mother and Black father, independent R&B singer-songwriter Joyce Wrice delivers a sound that resonates with this generation. Known for her sweet lyrics and distinct tone, the San Diego native's breakout debut album Overgrown landed on numerous "Best R&B Albums of 2021" lists and solidified Wrice as one of the genre's most promising stars.
Executive produced by record-breaking, GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter/producer D'Mile (Silk Sonic, H.E.R., The Carters), the star-studded Overgrown showcases Wrice's range and versatility effortlessly alongside an impressive A-list roster of collaborators including Freddie Gibbs, Lucky Daye, KAYTRANADA, Masego, Westside Gunn, UMI, and Devin Morrison. In support of the LP, Wrice gave electrifying live performances supporting GRAMMY Award winner Lucky Daye on the entirety of his 26- date North American Candydrip Tour.
With Overgrown establishing Wrice's presence as an artist, 2022 EP Motive demonstrates Wrice's ability to follow through. Motive's production comes from house music's golden boy and GRAMMY Award winner KAYTRANADA, attracting Wrice a broader audience within the house music scene.
Wrice has performed at numerous festivals across the U.S. and Europe in support of her EP, including BNI Java Jazz, TFW Music, Summer Days, Sol Blume, Broccoli City, and Cross the Tracks. In addition, she's collaborated with Jordan Ward on his new 2023 album, Forward, dropping the hit song SIDEKICK. In 2024, she also dropped single "too fast" in collaboration with R&B heavy hitter Duckwrth and emerging artist ESTA.
Following in the footsteps of Solange and Destiny's Child, Wrice can currently be heard as the current theme song vocalist for The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder streaming now exclusively on Disney+.
Joyce is currently working on new music, with plans to drop another album this year.
