DiMELO. i’M JOEL.
I am an Afro-Caribbean theatre artist and educator hailing from the BBQ capital of the world, Kansas City, Missouri, where I earned two bachelor’s degrees, one in Music and the other in Theatre. I am now based in South Florida.
Most recently, I’ve become a Certified Teacher of Knight-Thompson Speechwork, a skills-based approach to learning accents for actor training. In 2024, I finished my MFA in Acting and I now freelance as an actor, musician, sound designer, accent coach, and adjunct professor.
As a composer/arranger, my works have been premiered globally on Apple Music and Spotify as part of my debut EP entitled “Journey”. They have also been performed at performing arts centers and at commencement ceremonies. In fact, I have recently finished writing and composing the music for my new musical, Donner: An American Musical Tragedy, which I co-wrote alongside my dear friend Cait Siobhan Kiley. It debuted at the 2025 Owl New Play Festival, and we look forward to submitting it to other festivals in the near future.
In my personal life, I enjoy being surrounded by music, good company, and even better food.
