Joel was brilliant at using his music—a strong mix of his original tunes and some classic tracks—to get the conversation started. His set was fantastic, blending his indie-rock sound with real talk. He spoke openly about his own struggles, which made his message about being brave enough to speak up, knowing who to trust, and looking out for your own mental state so much more relatable for the students.

Our students were buzzing when they found out Joel is signed to the same record label as major stars like Harry Styles and Sabrina Carpenter! The event was a massive hit, and he definitely picked up lots of new fans in ST6 today. Joel was a good sport, sticking around afterwards to meet everyone, signing posters and chatting. It was an inspirational, feel-good event that rounded off the term perfectly!
