Great accomplishments may take a great time to achieve, but everything happens in God’s time.
Bro Joel’s life and musical career is certainly a testament to that statement. “God is good...All the time” says the singer, songwriter and instrumentalist.

From the small town of Wagram, North Carolina - to the city of New Haven, Connecticut, Bro Joel is blessed with an anointing, and his career demonstrates that anointing ever so powerfully.

As a child, Bro Joel played piano & trumpet, and sang in church - Unionville Baptist Church of Laurinburg NC. Bro Joel competed & succeeded in various high school talent shows at Scotland High School, performed on stage throughout his college career, and received a BA in Music Education with a Concentration in Voice from North Carolina Central University in Durham.

Bro Joel was a featured vocalist in the Carnegie Hall Debut of the Spiritual Heritage - a Four (4) Movement Work performed by the New Harlem Symphony Orchestra. The Spiritual Heritage was an African, Negro Spiritual, Gospel, and Contemporary/Inspirational Concert - where Bro Joel performed alongside the legendary Cab Callaway, Priscilla Baskerville, and Simon Estes.

Bro Joel continued to make his mark in the classical music realm -performing in operatic works such as Pagliacci, Gianni Schicchi, Madame Butterfly, Turandot, Tosca, and La Traviata at the Shubert Theater, in New Haven CT, where he performed under the direction of the renowned opera conductor and composer Maestro Anton Coppola.

Recording commercial jingles, writing songs and collaborating with Pop and R&B artists, and teaching music provided Bro Joel with the diversity and passion needed to continually be successful in the business of music.

Bro Joel proudly released his debut album called First Words in December 2009. First Words was a five-song Contemporary Gospel EP digital release through Universal Music Group/INgrooves/BroJoMass & Unionville Productions/Massey Records, and completed a second project - It's Just Not Possible, a 13-song Easter album which he released in 2011.

His latest album - Rain On Me - completed in 2012, demonstrates the writing ability and creative gift that Bro Joel possesses. Surrounding the Resurrection of Jesus, Bro Joel wrote the songs on the album to support the roles of different characters in a major Easter production. Bro Joel wrote and performed a song called “It’s Just Not Possible” as he portrayed the role of Doubting Thomas.

Bro Joel featured his daughter, Ezra, in a song called “He Is Lord”, which he wrote as the production’s finale. The other songs on this album were written to support specific and targeted sermons and messages.

Bro Joel is currently wrapping up another 10-song album called "It's Gonna Be You" with his daughter - Ezra. Creating New Haven’s own Father-Daughter Gospel Duo “Bro Joel & Ezra”, this album is scheduled to be released in early 2014. This collection of songs has already generated interests in venues such as the Miami Music Festival where Bro Joel was referred to as a "brother that is smooth" by BeBe Wynans. The song “Yes To Your Will” received world-wide television airplay on Bobby Jones Gospel and the Word Network during the 2011 Stellar Awards. This album will feature Ezra on her single “It’s Gonna Be You”.

Inspired by masterful gospel artists such as Fred Hammond, Donnie McClurkin, Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, BeBe Wynans, and legends such as Luther Vandross, Ron Isley, and many others, this anointed singer has a true passion for music. Through his music, Bro Joel is winning souls for God’s Kingdom.
