Joel Sarakula is an AUS/UK artist who writes, produces and sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses. His music is informed by a rich, 1970s-inspired musical and visual palette, drawing on Soft-Rock, Funk and Disco influences, filtering them for our darker times while still remaining hopeful.

Born in Sydney, based in London and international in outlook Sarakula is a songwriter who has travelled the world in search of his muse, experiencing everything from being a victim of Caribbean carjackings to performing in the remote fishing villages of Norway, via the dive bars of Europe and the US.

His previous albums ‘Companionship’ (2020), ‘Love Club’ (2018), ‘The Imposter’ (2015) and ‘The Golden Age’ (2013) have racked up generous plays across UK and European radio and got him noticed in The New York Times, The Independent (UK), The Irish Times, Shindig! (UK), Stern (Germany), Rolling Stone Germany, El Pais (Spain) and Les Inrockuptibles (France) and he has been interviewed on Spanish National TV.

In November of 2020 he moved to Las Palmas, where he began to write new song, that would eventually culminate in his 2023 album release ‘Island Time’.
