Denver
Joel Rekiel started playing and performing music when he was 13 years old after finding a beat-up acoustic guitar in his grandparent's attic. He quickly realized his passion for working in music. Soon he was recording and performing in local bands in his small hometown in northeast Pennsylvania. After graduating high school, he went on to attend Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, where he studied Recording Arts and Music Business.
After holding roles in stage management, venue operations, freelancing with touring bands, and audio engineering in world-renowned recording studios, he was interested in a change of pace. In 2013, while driving cross-country to Los Angeles for a large-scale recording project, Joel stopped in Denver for the night with friends and never left.
Denver’s booming music scene opened the opportunity to co-found his current endeavor, BLDGBLKS Music Company. With high expectations and a small business mentality, BLDGBLKS has continued to grow each year, taking on more clients. Whether he is working with musicians, booking festivals and tours, running PR campaigns, playing music, or attending live shows, Joel’s daily routine reflects a fierce commitment to his craft and his client’s visions.
