Barbara Wiernik

Barbara Wiernik was 18 when she entered the Jazz Studio in Antwerp. Two years later she decided to follow her teacher David Linx at the Koninklijk Conservatorium van Brussel, where she graduated with distinction 5 years later. During this period, she also benefited from the teaching of her mentor Norma Winstone in the UK.
For the first time in 1999 she left for India to follow a first training in traditional Hindustani and Carnatic singing, which will give a special touch to her different repertoires.
After 7 years of intense collaboration, she released her first album in 2000 in duet with Jozef Dumoulin. Then came various projects and albums as leader or co-leader: "Soul of Butterflies" in which one will mainly hear mainly her own compositions and lyrics, "PiWiZ" around the compositions of Pirly Zurstrassen, "WRaP!" around the music of Alain Pierre with whom she has been closely collaborating for several years.
In addition to the projects in which she is sidewoman, it was in 2016 that she released her album "Complicity" with the Italian pianist Nicola Andrioli, an album which obtained a great success. Her latest project "Barbara Wiernik ELLIPSE", in which she surrounds herself with wonderful musicians, is released in September 2022.
Barbara never stops training since learning and transmitting everything that revolves around the voice enthuses her more than anything else.
Barbara Wiernik is singing and teaching mostly in Belgium and Europe, but also worldwide.
