His cinematic approach, inspired by films like Amelie and The Wicker Man, reflects his passion for world-building: "As long as I get a picture in my head, I can write." Raised on church music and Catholic mass, Joel's gothic sensibilities and pop inspirations blend to create immersive works that connect deeply with his fanbase.
His cinematic vision drives his ambitions for immersive live shows, movie soundtracks, and standalone musical projects. Sunny is a major new talent, merging pop music and cinematic storytelling, with his sights set on the movie world and beyond.
