Joy Kennelly aka The Joy Writer

I’ve appeared in music videos with Kiefer Sutherland, Tyga, Noel Schjaris and Travis, and also in TV, film, commercials, and new media productions in both Atlanta and Los Angeles. My laugh has been used on a laugh track because it’s so unique and infectious.

I’ve produced and hosted numerous travel videos, interviewed Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, and covered red-carpet events as a journalist. I also represent actors as a Personal Publicist teaching clients red-carpet style and protocol and managing their appearances.
