Netherlands Latest Pop Music Queen: Jocey
Jocey is a singer songwriter and producer with a great passion for music
. Growing up in a musical family in the Netherlands in Apeldoorn, at just the tender age of 4 she began creating her own songs and lyrics, while her father was in charge of recording her singing efforts as her mother was also a Gospel singer and sang in a Gospel group named "Relation". Jocey often joined her father watching her mother singing and she was very inspired from that young age by her mother's singing.
At the age of 13 Jocey performed for the first time at her high school and since that performance, she wanted nothing else but sing. At the same school Jocey met someone who loved singing also and they became friends and decided to sing together. They entered many talent shows and performed in clubs. They were singing and taping their songs in studios and Jocey made her own demo-tapes.
When Jocey was just 15 she and her friend auditioned for a popular TV talent show in The Netherlands, called "The Soundmix Show". They sang the song: "Endless Love" by Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross.
In high school Jocey performed in a musical named "Jesus Christ Superstar". It was the first time she experienced singing in a musical. She liked it very much but she loved singing pop music even more.
In June 1999 she was accepted to the prestigious Conservatory in Utrecht. Most of the time she sang jazz and classical music but ultimately Jocey wanted to sing Dutch Pop music. So after a year she decided to quit her study in Utrecht.
At that point she joined a funk/soul/pop band, which featured the music Jocey likes to sing the most, which is soul and pop/dance music, expanding her skills and variety as a Dutch Pop singer. 1 year later she found out there was a pop department at the Conservatory in Rotterdam and decided to audition for this school and they offered her a place. This study took about 4 years before Jocey graduated and received her diploma. Jocey now has a great deal of experience in singing in cover bands and also writing and performing her own material in other bands with their own songs.
In 2005 Jocey was asked to join a tour with the Western Experience All Star Band and The Country Line Dance Machine. She joined the 7th Country Music Hall of Fame. Jocey has performed in almost every theatre in The Netherlands and Belgium.
Jocey is always very busy with writing and recording her own songs, spending her days in her studio at home working on her songs. This year she made her debut with her first single "I AM ME", produced by Jocey herself. Her songs will be available for downloading on www.iamjocey.com.
