Joyce Curtis

Backup Vocals

Joyce Curtis first showed an interest in singing and playing piano as a 5 year old in her hometown church. Family and friends worked together to enable her to have opportunities to develop her natural abilities, although she has never had voice lessons.

Joyce sang and played piano at every opportunity presented to her. She was always very active in school, church and community choirs, bands and shows. At 17 she achieved the title of Junior Miss Oregon and this opened many doors to develop her talent. Singing and playing piano was the talent portion of her performance.

When Joyce graduated from high school she made the decision to join the Air Force where she continued to hone her craft with many various bands throughout Europe and the U.S.

Having such a wide range of opportunities to work with other talent, Joyce discovered her interest in harmony and back ground vocal work as well as keyboards. Joyce has worked as a backup vocalist in studios and has competed in a number of vocal competitions. She is often contacted by friends and family to sing at events such as weddings, memorials and fund raisers.

Military duty often required Joyce to set her love of music aside during many military missions including Desert Storm and the current Gulf war in Iraq .

When Joyce retired she made the move to Dallas Fort Worth and focuses on her passion. Singing harmony is a perfect expression of musical challenge. I like to imagine that loved ones that have passed before me can hear me sing. Joyce's musical influences which varies widely include Reba McIntire, Emmy Lou Harris, Barbara Streisand, Matricia Berg, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Patsy Cline.
