Hi, I'm Vivienne.
I am a Dutch New York-based vocalist, composer, producer and conductor with a focus on electronics, chocolate, and multi-sensory experience design as well as a clinical psychologist and faculty at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
With a background in both clinical psychology and music, I take a holistic approach to coaching. I believe each musician is unique, and tailor my sessions to the individual, helping you tap into your full potential and broaden your spectrum of sounds, styles, and abilities.
As a musician my collaborators since have included some of the most iconic names in the world of jazz.* My edible ‘experience’ events were the root of my multi-disciplinary approach to the making of my new album, ‘Typuhthâng’, which not just features a 100 female musicians from around the globe, but also comes with a bar of bean-to-bar chocolate from Original Beans Chocolate, a company that pro-actively empowers female cacao farmers of Virunga State Park in Congo.
