Joel Compass is a singer, songwriter and a producer from London, UK. The 20 year old Londoner’s debut track “Back To Me” had over 30,000 SoundCloud plays and 150,000 YouTube views in just one week, getting radio play from tastemaker DJ’s on BBC Radio 1, a 1 Xtra playlisting and attracting coverage on Hypebeast, Clash, The Hunger and The Guardian to name a few. In September, Joel will release his 4-track debut EP, “Astronaut”, via Black Butter. He may be signed to a particularly British label, but aesthetically Joel has more in common with American singers like Miguel, Frank Ocean, The Weekend, D’Angelo and Maxwell. At turns, dark and disturbing, at others boldly witty and markedly candid, this is indie R&B at its best.
