BIOGRAPHY
 George Willems was born and raised in Curacao. 

Growing up in a musical family (his late father Telmo Willems sang in several orchestras), George at an early age began to show his talents for singing.

As early as the age of 10 he began to sing as a pupil of the Mgr. Niewindt elementary school in the Mundo Nobo neighborhood, where he grew up. It did not take long before, at the age of 15, he joined "The Honeybees," a band of friends in the neighborhood, and later "The Three Voices & Co."  The latter association introduced him to an artistic career that led to the most spectacular achievement any local or Antillean artist has ever realized: The Best Interpreter in the 40th edition of the Viña del Mar Festival in Chile, one of the most prestigious festival in the world!

Describing George’s international career is not difficult. He is the only local artist/singer who has ever sung in the most famous international super clubs, theatres, hotels and television programs:  from Bangkok to Buenos Aires; from Amsterdam to Caracas, and from the Bahamas to Iceland (Reykjavik).

On April 29, 2003 George C. Willems became the first artist/singer to receive the decoration of “Knight in the Order of Orange Nassau”, which the Queen of The Netherlands (in this case Her Highness Queen Beatrix) awards to members of the Antillean community who have made an exceptional contribution in their respective fields.

George Willems is fluent in eight languages including:  English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Papiamentu, and Italian.  George also sings in Indonesian and Hebrew, but does not speak those languages.
