Joel William Harrison is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from regional Australia, shaped by his connection to both Wagga Wagga and Canberra. His music sits between pop, folk and country, carried by heartfelt writing, reflection and lived experience, what he calls “Pofoco, the honest kind.”

First drawn to the guitar by Marty McFly's Johnny B. Goode moment, his influences have since grown to include Garth Brooks, Sam Cooke, John Mayer, James Bay, Jack Johnson and Keith Urban. With a 14-track album, two EPs and a catalogue of singles, he's built a body of work that moves between introspection, melody and emotional honesty, songs for people who feel more than they tend to say.

His latest single, My Heart Explodes, is his most personal yet: written while expecting his first child and recorded while expecting his second, with both their heartbeats mixed into the track. It's a song about loving someone completely before you've ever met them.
