In 2015, Joel released his debut singles ‘Back Again’ and ‘Light It Up.’

Two years later, he released a handful of singles which includes ‘Just Wanna,’ ‘All the Things,’ ‘Feel This Way,’ and in 2018, released a record titled ‘Fallen,’ which premiered on Our Culture Mag.

A year later and featuring vocals from Hayley May, Joel released another amazing track titled ‘Sorry.’ The single went on to reach No.6 on the UK Singles chart. In July of that same year, ‘Sorry’ broke the record for the most Shazamed track in one day, accumulating 41,000 Shazams.

Earlier this year, Joel released two more singles – ‘Lonely’ and ‘Head & Heart’ with MNEK. ‘Head & Heart’ peaked at No.1 on the UK Singles Chart for six weeks, making it Joel’s first UK No.1. Joel previously stated that ‘he was influenced by UK garage growing up, and it played a huge role in his development as a DJ and a producer.’

During an interview with Idolator, Joel revealed what he’s been working on and what fans can expect in the near future.

You have had three huge hits in a row. Is there an album or EP on the way?

JC: “An album is a big goal for me and something that I am working towards. I have been working on lots of new music this year and have got bangers ready in the locker. I will keep working hard in the studio, and when the time is right I will come with the album!”

As a DJ, so much of your world is dictated by clubs. How has 2020 – and everything being closed – affected you?

JC: “Playing tracks in my DJ sets is my way of testing new music. It felt weird to release “Head & Heart” without ever playing it to a dance floor. However, we all have to adapt, keep things moving and stay positive during this time. It is the longest break I have had from DJ-ing and I do miss it very much. Having extra time to work on new music in the studio has been a big positive though. Also, spending more time with my friends and family has been nice. I plan to keep working hard in the studio for now and I look forward to going back on tour hopefully in 2021.”

Do you have any more remixes on the way? The Katy Perry remix you did is fire.

JC: “Thank you, it was so cool to be asked to work on the Katy Perry project. I have a new remix for Sam Smith coming out, which I am very excited about and I’m busy working on more remixes for some more big artists. I love remixing. I have been remixing and making edits of tracks since I was a teenager.”

What’s next for you? When can we expect another banger?

JC: “I have been working on lots of new music and remixes during lockdown. The studios in the UK are open again, so it has been great to be back in the studio with some amazing artists and song writers. It is unreal to watch “Head & Heart” growing around the world and I am very excited for the future.”
