King of Heck

Joel has been involved in music quite literally his entire life, whether it’s been booking local shows, managing his best friends’ bands, or writing his own music and performing it with his friends. His approach to the world of music is a special one—in his mind, music is far too important to be left playing in the background and forgotten about. It deserves our full attention, and an intentional approach. Similarly to how he uses his visual art, music is Joel’s way of journaling, and cataloging the most important moments in his life.

Kingo is his latest series of reflections and experimentations, and should be embraced for the first time with an open mind. Although the album was written entirely by him, this project and his life in music could not have been made possible without his large group of close friends—he is sure to express the privilege of spending his days living, working, and creating with his favorite people in the world, and what could be better than that?
