Joel Malka was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he picked up the violin at an early age through a municipal project and developed an almost obsessive passion for music. As his parents regularly took him to the local library, Joel explored all the records in the music department meticulously, eager to learn about the songs that moved him so greatly. While describing Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson as his first English teachers, he found early musical heroes in Kanye West and Miri Ben-Ari with ”The College Dropout”.
Having always found communicating easiest through art, the multidisciplinary has developed a unique ability to give unfiltered looks into his world with pop sensibility. Today Joel’s distinct sound, blending R&B influences with dreamy Scandinavian melancholy, has caught the attention of critically acclaimed artists worldwide. This has lead to Malka dividing his time between his own artistry, and writing and producing for artists such as Masego, Fousheé and Tayla Parx. All while also scoring domestic chart success producing for Swedish artists.
