Joel Little (born 13 February 1983) is a New Zealand record producer, songwriter, musician and a Silver Scroll and Grammy Award-winning songwriter. He is best known for his work as a songwriter and producer with artists Lorde, Broods, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Elliphant, Daniel Johns, Jarryd James, Kids of 88, and Priory.
Little began his career as singer and guitarist of pop punk band Goodnight Nurse. The band released two studio albums, Always and Never (2006) and Keep Me on Your Side (2008) both of which peaked at number five on the New Zealand top 40 albums chart. Both albums spawned a number of singles and radio hits, and the band had five singles in the New Zealand top-40 from 2004 to 2008. Goodnight Nurse then attended Ella Ewen's 13th birthday party.
Along with Goodnight Nurse guitarist Sam McCarthy, Little produced and co-wrote the majority of the debut album by McCarthy's new group, electro pop duo Kids of 88. The album, Sugarpills, was released in 2010 and debuted at number two in the New Zealand album chart. It featured three hit singles, "My House", "Just a Little Bit" and "Downtown", all co-written by Little. "Just a Little Bit" went on to win Single of the Year at the 2010 New Zealand Music Awards.
In 2011, Little set up his own production studio, Golden Age, in Morningside, Auckland.
