Music has held great importance to Joel Sires his entire life. His exposure to playing music began early. Guitar circles and singalongs were not uncommon at family gatherings.
He has distinct memories of the soundtrack he curated for some of life's most defining moments - like a first crush. With a Walkman in hand, he reserved a certain song for a special girl, waiting to press play until she walked through the classroom door.

Joel has found a lot of fulfillment through music over the years and loves songs so much that finding the drive to make music rarely waivers. To put it simply - he adores words and has always tried to find a way to share them with others.
