Taking the singer/songwriter image well beyond the box, WA’s Morgan Joanel is mixing up a cocktail of Retro-Pop tunes, creative live shows and alluring melodies - all served up in a sassy little package – shaken, for your pleasure.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner or MySpace!
Let keep this short and sweet... My name is Morgan - YES IT'S MY REAL NAME. I've been playing guitar and singing around Perth (my hometown) and across Australia for five years now... It's been a ride of highs and lows, dealing with everything that comes with a self-funded and managed independent musician!
I've racked up more than 750 original shows playing alongside some incredible musicians (Mark Seymour, Old Man River, Mark Seymour, Jon Stevens, Jimmy Barnes, Nathan Gaunt etc...)
Music is all I've wanted to do since I was about 8 and began writing songs about trees and recycling - these days I write with a little more substance hehe... I hit the stage as a dancer when I was 5 and continued on training in Jazz, Tap and Acrobatics at a little dancing school n Perth called Theatrix.
When I finished high school I went straight into the musician's workforce aka: singing at local cafe's for shillings, and fell in love with the life of an entertainer. I've been singing for my supper since then and am on the path to making all my dreams come true...
Once thing I will say - It's bloody tough in this industry, but I've never had the fear and would insist that you shouldn't either!
Many many things on the horizon this year - including work on my first full length album which hopefully will be out next year! If you see I've got a live show coming up - I'd love to see you there, always need a drinking buddy!
Check out the videos to get a glimpse of what I do live - it's more than just a chick on acoustic guitar :)
If you're enjoying my new songs, feel free to tell your mates and pass the love around - every little bit that you do helps me ten-fold! So thanks :) Just copy and paste the text below to send your friends over here!
