Joy Holden Releases New Video, "Right Here, Right Now,” and Celebrates Diamond Award Nomination
Joy Holden Releases ‘Right Here, Right Now’ Video
Spartanburg, SC (August 5, 2021)
Christian music singer, songwriter and musician, Joy Holden, has announced the release of a new video, “Right Here, Right Now,” from a cut off her latest album Broken to Beautiful.
This bright and uplifting song was written by Tony Wood and Belinda Smith, and the album was produced by Les Butler, a 42-year music veteran and an icon in the Nashville Christian music scene.
“Right Here, Right Now” reminds us that the Lord is with us no matter where we are. As the first verse exclaims, “when His people come together He will surely meet them there.” Joy’s powerful vocals, and the impeccable musicianship of the song, serves to drive this message home.
Joy decided to shoot the video at beautiful Lake Bowen in Inman, SC. She creatively used a theme that is reminiscent of an old style reunion, with families and friends gathering for fun on the water for fishing, swimming, picnicking, playing games, camp fires, and great fellowship.
True to the message in the song, the video features an old red truck that belonged to Joy’s late father and has been passed down to his great grandson, Adam, who makes an appearance in the video.
Joy said “I want this video to be a great reminder of family legacy, faith and values. What better time in our history than now to remind people that, as the song says, burdens may get lifted, hopeless hearts may be restored, maybe even some will start believing and come to know the Lord.” Joy believes so strongly in the restorative and present power of God, she has named her upcoming tour “Right Here, Right Now.”
This prolific singer/songwriter is also being recognized for her talent and contribution to the Christian music industry at the prestigious Diamond Awards. On July 31, it was announced that Joy has been nominated for the Sunrise Artist Award (new artist/emerging artist of the year). Winners will be reported on October 26th during the annual Creekside Convention ceremony in Pigeon Forge, TN. Voting is now open, and you can go here to cast your ballot in support of Joy’s nomination, or for any of your other favorite artists: www.surveymonkey.com/r/DiamondAwards2021T10

Love Found Me is a distinctively bluesy and rhythmic song written by Todd Wright. As well as being a talented songwriter, Todd is also a worship leader and the host of the ‘Average Everyday Worship Leader’ podcast. Wright says "Joy sings this song like someone who has seen firsthand what God’s love can do -- because she has! I’m honored and impressed by what she has done with this song.”
The lyrics to Love Found Me speak of today’s uncertainty and the absolute grace of God. It assures the listener that "mercy came and set me free, love found me.” Of the project, Joy says "the message is simple and designed to lift people up and give them hope. God loves every single human being and gives each person an opportunity to be redeemed through childlike faith.” This song shares that truth.
Much of Broken to Beautiful was completed at Nashville’s legendary Hilltop Studios under the skilled guidance of veteran producer Les Butler. The synergy of the talented musicians and singers, along with Joy’s throaty raw vocals combine to draw the listener in again and again.

The lyrics eloquently state “I want to see Jesus, and I’m not in a hurry,” reminding us of our greatest hope in spite of the painful reality of loss. They go on to say “if I had to do this without the Crucified I’d be terrified,” a promise many are standing on during this current world-wide health crisis.

Hey everyone. It’s here! Thursday, April 19th, 2018 and it’s the DAY of the premier of JOY HOLDEN’s, new video “WHAT YOU’VE GOT." From the new album, As Long As You Breathe – Joy Holden. We are so excited to share this testimony. The video was Produced and Directed by the extraordinary Phil Cross, who is a multiple award winning Christian songwriter, artist and producer. We are privileged to share with you and ask you to listen and watch - then please share/like/follow/stream/buy this music.
As, Joy stated in a recent interview, “The inspiration for this song, came from a missionary friend of mine, whose life’s work has been to share the walk and talk of Jesus Christ with others, always. She fully surrendered her entire life and being to God. I wish there were more people like her. Her influence on people is enormous, though she is very humble. She’s always shown a special connection (a real relationship) with God that made me realize years ago – that I can be in a genuine relationship with God. Not just a deity to pray and bow too. He actually loves us beyond measure and wants us to succeed if we put Him at the center of our lives.” Her story allows people to see that she (reflects God’s being through her actions, words, eyes, smile) and is a best friend with Jesus and has a day to day relationship. Thus, urging others to seek and say (I Want Some Of) What You’ve Got. And, how do I get that? What does it cost? What do I have to Pay? TELL ME ABOUT IT!
“This song took many years to finish. Not sure why, other than God wasn’t ready – I take that back, I wasn’t ready, so he waited on me! The best is truly YET TO COME! Says, Joy Holden. “
