Joa Helgesson (baritone)

From Death Metal to Opera

About Me

Rooster, Pieces (1981.02.19) Joa is studying at the Academy College of Opera in Stockholm. His vocal coach is Lena Hällström-Färnlöf. Joa has also been a student at the Shanghai Theater Academy, China and at the Chamber Music Line at MDH, Sweden. He's already participated as a singer, actor and musician in several events, operas, plays etc... Joa has recieved education in acting as well as classical singing, however his main area is opera/classical singing. It's worth noticing that Joa was the bass-player and main-screamer in a death-metal band for several years before changing his major. It doesn't seem to have affected his voice negatively.
