My Name Is Tamsin Brings Back the Magic of the Season with Her Debut Single “Joy & Love (All Around Me)”

There’s something rare about a debut that feels this genuine. Rising artist My Name Is Tamsin introduces herself to the world with “Joy & Love (All Around Me),” a nostalgic lofi-pop and hip hop fusion that captures what most holiday songs forget, the quiet, soulful magic of simply being alive.

Warm, poetic, and radiating gratitude, the track invites listeners to slow down and rediscover childlike wonder. It’s Christmas through the lens of someone who’s lived through struggle and still believes in joy.

Born in Oxford, England and raised in the U.S., Tamsin’s story is one of resilience. She wrote her first rap in elementary school, her first Christmas song at fifteen, and never stopped writing, even through years battling mental illness and recovery. Her art became her lifeline. Now, at 39, she’s reclaiming her voice and her purpose, turning pain into poetry and healing into melody.

Produced by Lit Honey Productions and recorded at The Record Co. in Boston, “Joy & Love (All Around Me)” is more than a holiday track; it’s a comeback moment. With its dreamy production, soft beats, and soulful vocals, it sits perfectly between Chance the Rapper’s “Sunday Candy” and Sia’s Everyday Is Christmas; nostalgic, modern, and deeply human.

Tamsin’s music doesn’t chase perfection. It chases feeling. “Joy & Love (All Around Me)” is a reminder that hope doesn’t always roar, sometimes it hums through a melody, in a room full of light and memory.
