Joel Culpepper

Joel Culpepper's debut album, 'Sgt Culpepper', is an incredible modern soul album and the product of a two-year undertaking which saw him attract an array of respected producers and musicians from the UK and beyond, a testament to the reputation he had already built as a dynamic songwriter and performer among his contemporaries. With executive production from Swindle (Ezra Collective, Mahalia), mastering from Joker (Stormzy, Kojey Radical) and with co-productions that include the likes of legendary pop producer Guy Chambers, Raf Rundell (The 2 Bears), Shawn Lee (Saint Etienne, Kelis), and Tom Misch, 'Sgt Culpepper' is a demonstration of the power of community, mingling self-reflection with wider social commentary. The record is split into four chapters: 'The Battle', which includes previous singles 'W.A.R' and 'Return', 'The Surrender', embodied by recent single 'Poetic Justice', 'The Love' and 'The Lesson'.
