JOEL SARAKULA live @Bizz'Art Paris

Soulful Soft-rock and Disco Artist hailing from Australia (via UK)

Imagine if Ray Manzarek was the frontman for the Bee Gees... It’s a neat visual introduction to Joel Sarakula, a UK-based Australian artist who writes, producesand sings Soulful Pop, gazing out at a contemporary world through vintage glasses, vintage threads and long blond hair. His music is informed by a rich, 1970s-inspired palette, drawing on soft-rock, funk and disco influences: sunny, uptempo jams for darker times. Self-aware that he looks and occasionally sounds like the love child of Ray Manzarek and the Gibb brothers, his self-deprecating sense of humour is always there just below the fringe. Joel Sarakula is a fixture on the festival and club circuit having previously performed at SXSW, Primavera Sound and Glastonbury and he's been noticed by The New York Times, The Independent (UK), The Irish Times, Rolling Stone Germany and El Pais (Spain). French audiences may have heard him played on FIP Radio before as his music frequently makes an appearance there.
