Born in the north of England, Joy Collingbourne moved to London to start her music career and quickly landed as an intern at Rise Management where she was soon helping to support Brit Pop bands such as The Wonder Stuff and Republica. Jobs at Free Trade Agency and Impressive PR followed where she learned the ropes of both agency and publicity life while working with Violent Femmes, Mercury Rev, Muse, Human League and others. In 2001 Joy made the move to the US to work as an agent for Los Angeles based The MOB Agency, assisting with artists including No Doubt, Berlin, Mark Kozelek, and being primary agent for Trashcan Sinatras, Sarah Jaffe, Oxymorrons, and others. Joy currently spends time in both LA and NY where, in addition to working for MOB, she books shows for select CEN artists. Joy also co-books Cyndi Lauper’s annual Home for the Holidays charity Christmas show at The Beacon Theatre.
