In this episode, Kara sits down with R&B singer Joyce Wrice ahead of her sophomore album. Joyce opens up about intentionally stepping away, rebuilding a song after losing its original beat, growing up Black and Japanese in Chula Vista, reconnecting with her long-lost brother in Japan, and the Buddhist teachings that continue to guide her.
Joyce Wrice is an R&B singer-songwriter from Chula Vista, California, now based in Los Angeles. Of Japanese and Black heritage, she released her critically acclaimed debut album Overgrown in 2021, featuring collaborations with KAYTRANADA, Masego, Freddie Gibbs, and Lucky Daye, followed by her 2022 EP Motive. She also performs the theme song for Disney+’s The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder and has collaborated with artists including Mahalia, Jordan Ward, and Isaiah Falls. In 2026, Joyce returned with new singles “Break Me In” and “Crack The Code,” marking the beginning of her long-awaited sophomore album era.
