This story started to manifest itself relatively late in life, when in 2014 at age 38, he was forced to stay home from work and decided to answer the draw of his piano. In search of tranquility of mind and some form of essence, music started to present itself that he had never played before in his life. Minimal pieces that he later once described as ‘simple music for complex emotions. Turned down by the only label he approached, Joep decided to self-release his debut album Solipsism in 2015.
The sound of his piano found its way to the ears of Deutsche Grammophon’s A&R manager Christian Badzura when visiting his favorite Bar in Berlin. This led to the signing of Beving to the world’s foremost classical label and consequently the release of equally successful sophomore album Prehension in 2017, making Joep one of the most listened to living pianists in the world at that time.
April 2019 saw the release of Henosis, Joep Beving’s closing chapter in a trilogy of albums – marking the end of an intensely personal four-year spiritual and philosophical exploration. In November 2019 Henosis was awarded with an Edison.
Since then, Joep has released several well received singles, composed for film and ballet and in 2022 presented his return to solo piano with the album Hermetism.
