Joey Valkevich is a native of Lafayette, CA who initially began as a jazz trumpeter.  He was introduced to the world of choral music at Acalanes High School by longtime bay area choral teacher Bruce Lengacher and continued to study vocal technique at Gonzaga University with bass-baritone Derrick Parker.  Upon moving back to California, he sang three years with San Francisco Choral Artists under the direction of Magen Solomon before joining San Francisco Renaissance Voices.  He has also served as the bass section leader at St John’s Presbyterian Church in Berkeley since 2012.  Now as a first-time father of a boisterous one year old son, Joey is ecstatic to be singing with Vox Humana SF this season under the direction of Don Scott Carpenter.
