Joel The Custodian

I'm multi-national chap [born and raised in Ireland].After completing my Media degree in Luton, England, I spent two years performing with a rap group called DPS in Cincinatti and Indianapolis. In '98 I returned to England to do youth work and kick-start a 'worship-art' movement with alt-folk musician and artist Ross Spencer.For the next 4 years I wrote, recorded and performed with Michaelis Constant, labeled 'the most unusual of all Britain's hip-hop teams' by Big Issue writer Peter Bate.As the group went into hibernation, I co-founded local hip-hop social club 'Phantom Limb', helped co-ordinate The Wrong Exhibition and started writing and making short films.In 2002 I met Eliot [the other custodian] with whom I made an album called 'Colloquial'. He's got skill.I'm currently signed to Zang, practicing the art of rap story-telling with a wonderful crew called The Extensioners and shooting '14 Masks', a mystery-music documentary.
