WHO IS JOELLE?
Have you ever traveled through time to see the future? Settled earth as an Alien life form? Stood on the surface of the moon? Joelle Doriani has- at least, in her songs. Joelle is a jazz-influenced Electro Pop artist whose songs swing in subject matter from nervous lovers who just don’t have the courage to break the ice to alien life forms destroying the moon. Her voice is angelic and her range stretches across four octaves. Her composition skills and love for all that is unique, quirky, and original give birth to musical concepts that are both interesting and accessible.

Just as the sound of Joelle’s music mixes the best of genre staples and her own originality, her lyricism mixes narrative that takes the listener to incredible places with real emotion that any person can relate to. All of us want to empathize and to be empathized with; feel what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes. What Joelle seeks to do with her music is just that- to move the listener to feel and to empathize, and have some fun at the same time!

Joelle is currently a music teacher, a podcast composer, a church music director, and a session vocalist/musician/ top-liner (remote).

You can find Joelle on Facebook, as well as on Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube Music, Bandcamp, and Instagram.

Joelle was amazing to work with. I had a song that I needed some vocals for and she went above and beyond. She wrote all the lyrics and recorded several layers/takes which gave me so much content to work with. She was so easy to work with throughout the entire process and made sure that I got what I wanted! I highly recommend Joelle for your next music project!
