Joan Faulkner

Joan Faulkner is The Voice. She began singing Gospel music as a child. Her repertoire includes jazz, blues, soul, and pop. She even has a techno smash single in Austria and Belgium. She’s come a long way for the daughter of a preacher man and she will certainly go much much further, given her perfect professionalism and stunning stage presence. The Voice is behind some of Germany’s best-selling musical exports. Star producer Frank Farian called Joan “the best voice in Germany.” She has performed with Boney M. and Milli Vanilli on “Blame it On the Rain.” Joan Faulkner is one of the best American voices on the Continent. Her aura has inspired audiences in Tiger Palast, the prime European variety theater, and captivated the masses at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle. She was featured at Frankfurt’s Alte Oper with the Georg Dalaris Orchestra. Ray Charles and Percy Sledge chose Joan to open for them in Germany. In 1989, Joan was the German Artist of the Year and she received the NAACP 1991 Award. Her show “3 Ladies of Blues” began in 2001, at a jazz festival at the Stadthalle open-air in Burghausen, Germany. Read more at www.joan-faulkner.com
