Support your locals like Joël Francis

Joël Francis, new artist on the block, here to shake things up.

Joël Francis aka Joëlle Serena Francis is a 22-year-old artist living in Belgium with her roots in Suriname.

To be part of something bigger, greater, is something she was longing for for as long she can remember. 

The feeling of coming home but at the same time belonging somewhere that even transcends yourself. Is what good music represents for her.

She started writing little plays and lyrics at the age of 9. And has never stopped since. She currently studies Drama and she’s just begun her musical journey alongside her studies.

Music had always been a part of her life first through Gospel and later through soul, jazz RnB and pop. Artists like Jazmine Sullivan, Snoh Aalegra, Sza, Victoria Monet and H.E.R( just to name a few), are a very big source of inspiration for her.

She admires these artists so much because their music is able to speak with her straight from the heart. That’s what she wants for her music too. To be right from her heart directly to the person listening to her music. So that, even if it’s just one person, they can also feel like they’re part of something.

Joël makes whatever kind of music she feels like she wants to make. It all comes from an emotion, feeling or intuition.

Right now she’s experiencing with genres like R&B, pop and Afro-pop. But she’s open to so many more styles in the future. 

From her first single ever, named IMUP (produced by Shunin) to her third single InterPhased (feat & prod by Tevin MK), she feels like it could only go up from here.

The inspiration grows everyday.

This is definitely not the last you’ll hear of Joël Francis, for her journey has just begun.

Lowkey Lu is a rapper from the south of Ireland. He has lifetimes of stories to tell, and an underlying message which he is committed to sharing with the world. The message at it’s core is that the people of Ireland deserve better. Greed has seeped its way into every layer of society here. The rich get rich, the poor get poorer, you know how the story goes. But how does it end? More importantly, when?

Lu subscribes to the idea that the role of art is to hold a mirror to society, and aims to do just that by sharing his perspective with what has been described as “brutal honesty.” With this he hopes to shine light on issues which have impacted him such as the housing crisis, underfunded hospitals, corrupt legal system, and lack of mental health support in Ireland.

Though no one knew as much either, which deterred him from chasing his dreams. Fast foward at age 18 and realizing music was still in his heart. He dropped out of harper to pursue and become a rapper. He worked at homedepot in this time frame and freestyle rap with some friends. He wanted to step in the booth, but felt he wasn’t ready. He wanted to give the world a masterpiece, not a refrigerator drawing of his skill. When it comes to his potential as an artist, entering present day.
