Blend the mystique of Stevie Nicks with the raw spirit of Jim Morrison, and you’ll get something like Australian musician Morgan Joanel; a creative powerhouse with stage presence that feels like lightning in a bottle. But Morgan isn’t just coasting on good vibes and lucky breaks. She’s lived it - hard - and fought her way back from the kind of fall most people never come back from.

In 2021, Morgan’s life skidded off the rails when she was slammed by a hit-and-run driver, leaving her with busted bones, a brain injury, and a wheelchair she was told she might be stuck in. However, Morgan Joanel isn’t built to break. Like a true rebellious spirit, she rose from the wreckage stronger, wilder, and more ready than ever to reclaim every stage she ever stepped foot on.

"It's rare to meet someone who's a natural in more than one creative area"

- Adrian Breakspear, ARIA Award Winning Producer / Gang of Youths

Performing with loop pedals, guitars, stomp boxes, and percussion, she builds every beat, chord, and harmony in real time, no backing tracks, no safety net. Every show feels like an intimate confession wrapped in captivating energy—raw, magnetic, and addictive. With her honeyed, smokey voice, Morgan takes audiences on an immersive journey of storytelling with her bohemian Rock'n'Roll music, and that kind of magic doesn’t go unnoticed. UK superstar Anne-Marie spotted Morgan playing a small Perth bar in 2019 and invited her to open the next leg of her international tour.

She’s opened on national tour stages with heavyweights Adam Lambert (Queen), Jason Derulo (US), and Newton Faulkner (UK). She performed on Celebrity Apprentice and has had her face printed on shirts for ZARA stores, worldwide.

Morgan’s journey hasn’t followed the neat, glossy playbook of pop fame. She’s tasted the highs of major-label life with Sony and lived through the chaos of the indie grind. With 6 Australian national tours under her belt and shows across London, she’s worked with Grammy-nominated producer Adrian Breakspear (Gang of Youths) and kicked off crowds for everyone from Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), David Ryan Harris (John Mayer) to Phil Jamison (Grinspoon).

And music isn’t the only trick up her sleeve. As a fashion designer her collections were stocked in over 200 boutiques—including Myer. Her jewelry? Worn by models and celebs alike. She’s a creative innovator through and through, with international fans who’ve backed two successful crowdfunding campaigns to help her independently release music and art projects.

With her debut EP Night Blooms earning national airplay on Triple J and snagging a semi-finalist spot in the International Songwriting Competition, Morgan’s momentum has never been stronger. If you haven’t heard Morgan Joanel’s newest single Devil’s in the Detail yet, buckle up. This phoenix is back—and she’s here to burn brighter than ever.

   

Morgan's internationally renowned Style blog Mojomade saw her appear in magazines around the world, including Nylon Japan and led her to create her first brand: Luxe Wild - a handmade and sustainably ethical jewelry label incorporating up-cycled leather, crystals and locally sourced handmade trinkets from Nepal, with pieces worn by celebrity models Mimi Elashiry and Jesinta Franklin. Morgan often turns her artworks into wearable fashion pieces and one-off-upcycled pieces that she shares across her social media platforms.
