Hi, I’m Joy payton.

I began playing the cello in my hometown of Cleveland when I was just four years old. I attended Interlochen Arts Academy for high school, and then continued my education at the University of Southern California where I studied with Ronald Leonard. I’ve been a member of the New World Symphony, the Charlotte Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony. In addition to performing music, I love teaching and coaching.

Looking for some support with auditions? I would love to help!
