Joel's first experience in stage performance was at the age of six when he volunteered to sing a solo number. After that, he showed keen interest in the performing arts.
He started acting in a school play at the age of nine, and when he was ten, he was given the opportunity to act in his first musical, Seussical the Broadway Musical, as Jojo. By the tie he was 12, Joel had appeared in nine musicals, among them Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan.
He has also acted in short films and TV series, and as a voice-over talent, he has lent his voice to numerous radio commercials.
