Festa: Joel Sarakula

Sydney-born, London-based newcomer Joel Sarakula is a songwriter cut from classic cloth.' Irish Independent, June 2013

Joel Sarakula is an AUS/UK artist who sings DIY Soulful Pop songs at the piano and guitar. Born in Sydney, Australia and now based in London, his debut UK album The Golden Age racked up generous plays in the UK across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6, BBC London, XFM, Q Radio and Absolute Music. He is a regular fixture on the festival and club circuit in the UK, Europe and Australia where he performs solo and with band including appearances at The Great Escape Festival and Hop Farm Festival in the UK.

Sarakula is a songwriter who has travelled the world in search of his muse, experiencing everything from Caribbean carjackings to performing in the remote fishing villages of Norway, via the dive bars of Europe and the US. It was the hodge-podge musical tapestry of England’s capital that finally drew him to a settling point, in the wake of a seemingly never ending run of shows.

Joel Sarakula's new single Northern Soul will be the first release ahead of an upcoming album. Northern Soul is a dark, driving turn through retro-soul and is scheduled for release as a vinyl 45 on UK label Heavy Soul Records in early 2015.
