Tirzah Joy Huerta Uecke (born June 20, 1986), known as Joy Huerta, is a Mexican singer and songwriter. Since its creation, she has served as vocalist of Jesse & Joy, a duo she forms with her older brother, Jesse Huerta.
As part of the duo, she has released four studio albums, a live album and an EP with Warner Music Latin, toured internationally, and racked up the Grammy Award for Best Latin Album as well as six Latin Grammy Awards in various categories. "Joy's voice has been compared to Norah Jones, Alanis Morissette and, almost inevitably, Kelly Clarkson", wrote the Los Angeles Times. In 2025, Huerta was nominated for her first Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score for Real Women Have Curves.
