Joel Farland is a musical director and producer for some of the biggest artists in Australia and around the world at the moment.

He's working with the likes of Peking Duk, Tkay Maidza, Parkway Drive and most recently 50 Cent. He's also been the musical director and producer for numerous live TV events, including the ABC New Years Eve concert and The ARIA Awards.

Joel started out studying classical percussion in London, before transitioning into drums and getting to tour the world playing various arenas and music festivals. He's since then gone on into the world of musical directing and producing, and is pulling together some absolutely incredible shows that are currently touring all over the planet.

In this chat, I speak with Joel about his journey and development from player to musical directing, as well as hearing his incredible advice for drummers who want to get into the world of playing for large scale pop and RnB tours, as well as A list artists and bands.
