Hailing from Tasmania, Catherine Joy has made quite a name for herself here in LA. Not only is she an accomplished film composer, Catherine is also the founder and CEO of Joy Music House, a full service score production company AND she's the President for the Alliance for Women Film Composers. She also teaches film scoring for the NYU Steinhardt Masters program. Yeah. This woman is a powerhouse and she believes that creating community and being a part of a community of composers is of most importance in order to navigate the hardships of being a freelance creative.
