Joseph Bell
‘Joseph Bell is the kind of musician who doesn't just perform - he invites you in. If you get the chance, go see him live - before the venues get bigger and the secret is out!’ - UnCL Magazine.
Joseph Bell’s debut album ‘Exploding Stars’ arrived in August 2025, marking the next chapter in his journey from Shrewsbury open mic nights to sold-out London shows. His dreamy alt-pop fuses contemporary production and introspective lyrics with the noughties guitars and hip-hop-tinged pop he grew up on and has seen him gain support from BBC Radio 1, Amazing Radio and tastemaker Jodie Bryant.
‘Exploding Stars showcases a songwriter with a gift for pairing radiant melodies and dreamy productions with insightful self-reflection’ - Obscure Sound
