Joël Vuik

Joël started with singing before he can remember. At school and on Sundays on special occasions, he would sing in front of the community in the church. Later on Joël enjoyed guitar and piano lessons which helped him in his musical development. In the year of 2008, Joël moved to Rotterdam, a big city with a lot of opportunities. Because of his love for music he visited the conservatory Codarts a lot to get lessons in music theory and music. Thus Joël applied for the Bachelor of Music in Education and got accepted. Not shortly after he started this education, his singing-teacher informed him about the concept countertenor, because he was singing in his falsetto so often. The first thing Joël found, when he went on the internet, was the aria Erbarme Dich from J. S. Bach, sang by Andreas Schol
