I sit down once again with Joel Felsenstein—London-born drummer, songwriter, neurodiversity advocate, and the passionate Founder of RockstarX—to explore how music, identity, and purpose collide to create powerful change in the world.
Joel is a powerhouse of creativity and resilience. As a multi-instrumentalist, he’s made his mark in the music industry with esteemed bands and endorsements from Zildjian, Vic Firth, and Snareweight. But Joel’s story goes far beyond the stage. Living with the rare metabolic disorder MSUD and as someone on the autism spectrum, Joel embraces his neurodivergence and transforms personal challenges into platforms for empowerment and inclusion.
In this episode, we dive into the continued growth of RockstarX—Joel’s mission-driven company that uses music and conversation to bridge neurodiverse and neurotypical communities. From trips to the U.S. to expanding RockstarX into new spaces, Joel is building a global movement rooted in truth, connection, and radical acceptance.
🎶 Joel’s passion is contagious, and his vision is clear: create a world where every voice is heard, every talent is celebrated, and music is the universal connector. You’ll walk away feeling inspired to lead, listen, and live more fully as yourself.
🔹 What We Talk About:
🌟 RockstarX Growth – The vision for expanding across communities in the UK, U.S., and beyond.
🥁 Neurodiversity & Creativity – How Joel’s experiences fuel his mission and message. 🎵 Music as a Bridge – Uniting people through rhythm, expression, and shared humanity.
