These songs have been a lifetime in the making.

Bad Bad Joel of Calgary, Canada, has come out of hiding to do what he should have been doing all along.

After dabbling in EDM production as a teenager, Joel quit in frustration.

Despite spending time as a DJ, dance music radio programmer, and becoming a professional audio engineer at 20, Joel never returned to creating music.

Until 2025. 

In the year following his first releases, Bad Bad Joel surpassed 10,000 streams and earned airplay on Afterhours.FM and radio stations across Canada. 

Inspired by Above & Beyond, Avicii, and Chris Lake, his sound blends heartfelt vocals with euphoric drops and a nostalgic yet modern edge.

Bad Bad Joel is just getting started: honing his sound, recording collaborations, and sharing the human experience through electronic music for those who feel it deeply.

He's blasting into 2026 with an unlikely feature, joined by country-rock vocalist "Louise" on her very first EDM project: "Burning Building".
