Early life and education

Joel was raised in Hesperia in a Mexican family; his mother is Patricia Pimentel and although Spanish is Joel’s native language, years passed before he learned how to speak or understand it.

He became interested in singing and making music at the age of eight, after being motivated by his grandfather who had been a musician during his teenage years. Joel began taking singing classes, and found comfort in music after being bullied at school due to his ‘different’ looks and the fact that he was Mexican. He was given the nickname ‘potato’, and because of all this, Joel became shy and introverted and didn’t have many friends while growing up.

After he enrolled at high school, he began acting by appearing in school plays, and although he he’s continued with a bit of acting over the years, he’s been primarily focused on his singing career. Joel is not planning on enrolling at college.

Career as a musician

Joel launched his career in 2015, after he applied to compete in the first season of the “La Banda” reality TV show.

In 2015, Joel tweeted about how he won’t be having a girlfriend until he turns 50 – up to this day Joel hasn’t talked about any girls he might have dated, which is why there are rumors circulating the internet that the popular singer might be gay.

Joel admires Kendall for her attractive looks as well as for her venture into acting, as she has appeared in TV series such as “Khloe & Lamar” in 2011, “I Am Cait” in 2015, and the “Ocean’s 8” film in 2018.
