sir Was is the musical journey of Joel Wästberg, hailing from Sweden. With his unique blend of genres and captivating melodies, he has carved out a distinct sound that resonates with listeners worldwide. Drawing inspiration from various influences, sir Was creates music that transcends boundaries and defies categorization. His soulful vocals and intricate instrumentation transport listeners to another realm, where they can immerse themselves in the beauty of his artistry. Whether it's through his thought-provoking lyrics or infectious beats, sir Was never fails to leave a lasting impression on all who encounter his music.
From humble beginnings to international acclaim, sir Was has come a long way in his musical career. He first burst onto the scene with his debut album [title], which garnered critical praise for its innovative sound and introspective lyrics. Since then, he has continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in music, constantly evolving and experimenting with new sounds and styles.
With each release, sir Was continues to captivate audiences with his mesmerizing performances and undeniable talent. Whether he's performing live or crafting intricate studio productions, he always brings an unparalleled level of passion and authenticity to everything he does. As an artist who refuses to be confined by conventional norms, sir Was is truly a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.

2020 was supposed to be Wästberg’s big year. Still riding high from the release of his second album as sir Was –2019’s Holding On To A Dream – the Swedish multi-instrumentalist was booked to open for Little Dragon across Europe and the US. When the tour was cancelled due to COVID, he decided to channel all his energies into writing new music instead, but in August of 2020, he received some life-changing news. Tests revealed he carried the gene for a rare, hereditary condition causing multiple strokes. This dichotomy lies at the heart of his beautifully bittersweet third LP. Meditating on love, growth, self-acceptance, forgiveness, mortality and the passing of time, Let The Morning Come, which arrives self-produced by Joel, contains his most candid writing to date. And yet, for all the heartache that comes with being cruelly confronted with one’s own mortality, the prevailing impression Wästberg leaves listeners with is one of hope, resulting in a collection that is life-affirming in the very truest sense.
