With his guitar-driven folk-pop, it's not hard to see why people call Joel Sundkqvist Finland's version of Ed Sheeran. Joel's evocative lyrics and heartfelt melodies resonate with those who appreciate the art of storytelling through music.

Joel signed with Mantik Music Group in 2021, and has since then been collaborating in cities like Stockholm and Nashville, and written with people like Carol Karpinen (Noah Kahan). Since March 2024, the singles for Joel’s EP “A Present Past” have landed Spotify editorial playlists, gained attention from music blogs and the press, and doubled his social media following.
