I'm Joel Nowakowski, a singer-songwriter with a keen focus on storytelling and melody. My songwriting draws from a range of influences, but at its core, it’s always lyrically driven, emotionally honest, and musically intimate.
In 2024, I released Pebbles of My Bones, an album that marked a pivotal moment in my career. The response was incredible—strong streaming numbers, playlist placements, and, most importantly, a growing sense that the songs were resonating with listeners.
In 2025, I followed up with Rhythm of a Life, which gained traction in the independent music scene. Songs like "I Can’t Be Here," "Seven Oceans," and "Anymore" continued to build momentum, earning strong streaming numbers and multiple playlist adds.
This year, I'm releasing a series of new singles leading up to a 2026 EP titled Fishing Line. I'm deeply dedicated to my craft and grateful every day for the opportunity to create music that makes meaningful connections with people.
