Patricia Wisse was introduced to jazz at an early age by her mother, a jazz singer, who showed her the rich jazz scene of The Hague. After getting a bachelor’s degree in theology at Leiden University, she started her studies in jazz voice at Codarts Rotterdam. There, she studied with Fay Claassen, Harjo Pasveer, Jarmo Hoogendijk, and Simon Rigter.
Patricia has been a nominee for the semifinals of the Dutch Jazz Vocalist Competition (Nederlands Jazz Vocalisten Concours) as well as for the semifinals of the Erasmus Jazz Prize.
In 2015 her debut album, in duo with pianist Juraj Stanik, was recorded and released.
In 2017 she obtained her master’s degree, ‘Music Education according to the Kodály Concept‘ at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. In her research she focused on the use of John Curwen’s Tonic Sol-fa system in the context of the jazz standard repertoire. Currently she is a teacher at the course ‘Muziek als Vak’ at the Royal Conservatoire, as well as at the YKC, the young talent department of the same institute.
