Introducing Newcomer Violinist Joel Sunny - Debut Headline Sydney Show This February
MELBOURNE, AU (December 5, 2024) – Quiet achieving Sydney-via-Manchester artist Joel Sunny is set to take the stage in Sydney next February at the official launch of his sold-out Star-bound Lovers debut global tour.
The 23 year-old violinist has been setting the internet alight with his strikingly unique compositions and meticulously crafted visuals building a vast audience for himself, amassing over 300 million streams and four million followers across social media in only a couple of years. His breakout track, ‘Luminary’, attracted millions of streams, climbing global charts and becoming the soundtrack to the lives of fans worldwide, notching up over one million uses of the track across socials.
Joel’s recent global tour announce shows that the excitement is real, selling out his entire run five months in advance.
Although Joel’s music takes instrumental form, he uses the violin to construct melodies akin to vocal lines, writing with a distinctly pop sensibility, full of decadent drama and influenced by the likes of Lana Del Rey, 2010s Pop and 60s and 70s soundtracks.
Having debuted his live show to rave reviews at SXSW Sydney in October, Joel’s performance expands his already cinematic music into an immersive, emotional journey. Don’t miss your chance to witness Joel Sunny's extraordinary rise as he brings his Star-bound Lovers tour to life in February.

Although solely focused on instrumental compositions, Joel describes his music as “Soundtracks to bring your stories to life”. His latest release, ‘First Sight’, tells the story of two lovers, the sun, fate, and the moon and treads an immaculate line between light and dark. The single is the first of a trilogy of releases, set to be fully revealed in early 2025 and is certain to build on the huge success of Sunny’s viral hit single ‘Luminary’, which became a staple of #BookTok and has earned over 67million streams.
Now collaborating with creative director Cal Mcintyre (The Last Dinner Party), the video for ‘First Sight’ provides a glimpse at his endless creative scope.
