Biography

Musician and visual artist, Morgan Joanel, weaves her live looping skills and evocative imagery into a captivating artmusic story that unfolds not only live on stage, but long after you leave the show. Layering husky harmonies over loops of electric guitars, Morgan’s bohemian style bleeds through pulsing beats with a hat tilt to blues - it’s no wonder an eclectic mix of US and UK superstars have handpicked her to warm up their crowds when touring around Australia. Most recently in April 2019, as Morgan was playing an intimate gig in Perth, it was UK artist Anne-Marie who found her live looping sound irresistible, promptly asking her to open her Perth show the following night - but this isn’t the biggest stage she’s played. Morgan has taken her layers of soulful harmonies and guitar loops across Australia as main support for international acts including Adam Lambert, Jason Derulo and Newton Faulkner. Travelling between Perth, Sydney and the USA, Morgan has spent the last few years writing and working with Grammy nominated and Aria Award winning producers, collecting the seeds of a collection of songs that now make up her forthcoming EP. With both independent and major label releases in the past, her new music (co-produced with WAM Award Winning producer Dave Parkin) and the art collection to accompany it will be released independently in 2019 thanks to her enthusiastic supporters who recently funded a $12k Kickstarter to bring the concept to life.
